Just finished my first build last night, Figured I'd enter it in the running.

Now that is a shade of green I like.

Can't say I agree with Waz on the colour but that looks like a great piece of work.

Hmmm, on my phone it looked more vibrant whereas now on the desktop computer I am almost thinking Granny Smith. The glitter sparkles sucked me in together with the pearloid plate.

Finish looks GREAT, congratulations on a top job ...
BUT what happened to the last two strings, only 4, I don't understand ;-) haaa haaa.

The sorts of things we judge on include:
· How well have the body and neck been prepared
· Is the choice of finish for the style of guitar appropriate
· How well has the finish been applied
· How well has all the hardware, pickups, etc, been installed
· Does it have the "Wow Factor"
· Which guitar would you make a beeline for in a guitar shop. That is, which one would you most like to take home.


BTW - remember that the winner is invited to be a guest judge the following month!

Sweet finish on that one. Nice work.

Finished mine today was a great project and learnt ALOT from building my first guitar. Had a good mate of mine who owns Black Hart Airbrushing in Perth do the amazing art work and then a crazy green flake on the back. Wish my pictures could pick it up more but its crazy how much it pops in the sun. He also learnt a lot with the art work/paint bubbling over and reacting to the stain I originally tried on it. Had to start over 3 times on the paint work!! In the end.. We are botth stoked with how it came out! Definitely be doing another one together at some point.

Heres a pic shortly before it was completed just to show the light hitting the flake. Hope that is alright to put in!
