My entry for GOTM - NOVEMBER, is a Pit Bull TBJ-5 "Fenderbird" with a Hydro-dip "rust" coating with satin clearcoat and a stainless-look scratch-plate. Just finished today! First build. Pretty happy ................

Here is my entry for Oct. 2019 G.O.T.M.. TBJ-5F Thunderbird Bass Kit Build. Basswood body Shou Sugi Banned burned, then endless hours of painstaking engraving the wood grain lines. Feast and Watson Teak stain on the center of the body and brown pen ink stain on the wings. Then Scandinavian oiled and finished off with ultra gloss poly. EMG active pup in the neck and kit pup in the bridge and upgrading the bridge. I didnt have the heart to cover the grain with the scratchplate/pickguard.
