ElRay Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I feel bad not voting for the SwedishLuthier's Electric Cello, but I've got a major soft-spot for headless, ergo guitars. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessejames Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I thought Killemall's explorer was the best take on an old design and so well executed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonx Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Biggest GOTM we've had for a long time and a great display of the variety and talent that is on this forum. Every entry should be so proud of their work as they are all top shelf and proof that us little guys working from our sheds at home can produce a world class instrument.

SwedishLuthier Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Deamonx Assuie 7-string, nice over all instrument, however nothing that really sticks out Southpa V, seems to be a solid build. However the finish is a bit to "busy" for me Pauliemc JS, great build and finish. However to much of a clone to get my vote. Killemall Explorer, nice clean build. However the good ole' "pointy guitars ain't for me" applies to this Charlie H Lagarto 2. Unique design and good workmanship. I love the naval theme. A unique design, with some quirky solutions, like the output jack on the back. RAD Icaros, (shouldn't it be called the Phoenix as it has risen from the ashes...), I know the story behind the design. However it still looks like someone have taken a big bite out of it (the router of cause) and it really doesn't look quite right to me. The workmanship is a usual flawless. My vote goes to Lagarto as it is the most unique build and that always yield high points from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoevenc Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Hard not to vote for him this month. But the surf guitar takes the cake. So well executed! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redb Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Pauliemc JS, great build and finish. However to much of a clone to get my vote. I dont think it to much clone. I wish Ibanez would make a js like this. lets hope they pay attention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauliemc Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I doubt he means any disrespect by it Red. Just that it is a standard model shape with typical hardware appointments, that can be gotten from a large manufacturer. Although my JS is thicker than the Ibanez with a different neck profile, it is still easily recognisable as a custom version of a Satriani model. Just look at what he has entered, conventional is not exactly swedishluthiers thing. & then he did say "Pauliemc JS, great build and finish." Considering the gitirs he makes I take that as a major compliment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the gitirs he makes I take that as a major compliment. You got it right Sir! No disrespect at all. Just some thoughts and some appreciations of a very nice build. As you noticed I often shoot for originality and this is all meant to be some comments that explain why I vote as I do. When commenting all nice builds here (not including my own…) I try to stay away from rants and then the short comment might come out in a way that needs a friendly interpretation. It’s not easy to be precise in a language that’s not your native. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunday_luthier Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Northstar surfer gets my vote. Followed closely by the Lagarto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Demonx's this month is my favorite of his so far.Outstanding IMO,and if it weren't for Rad's it would have received my vote...but I followed Rad's headless too closely for ideas for my own future headless to not vote for it.

It’s not easy to be precise in a language that’s not your native. Honestly, I would never have taught that you were not a native english speaker. Your command of the language far exceeds some people I know who speak it every day . Your comments on the guitar are well noted & appreciated, I used to give my opinions on the entries but stopped doing it as it does seem to tick some people off when you point out issues with their builds. Even if there is no malice intended. Personally, I find this forum to be an invaluable source of information on building guitars. If people stopped pointing out things they did not like, or making comments on things they are having problems understanding, it would be a much less interesting place. The encyclopedic vault of everything guitar would suffer. So I say bring on the comments. even the bad ones, I can only learn from negative feedback. Anyway. rant over. Love your guitars man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mender Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Well, it gets harder each month to decide, and this month is no exception. After much deliberation, I decided to go with SwedishLuthier's Electric Cello, partly because of some fond memories of playing a (rather beaten and battered) cello in the late 1970s on a couple of ELO numbers we performed with the band "Peeler's Dream" I was in at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Workingman Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 What a field. I was torn but decided to vote for the one I would most want to play and that was the surf guitar. If I played cello it would have gotten my vote. But still, what a field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
