ProjectGuitar.com Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 ProjectGuitar.com's Guitar Of The Month contest is a showcase for members to exhibit their creations and to vote on their favourites. The contest is open entry for any and all members. Winner(s) receive a featured article at the head of the ProjectGuitar.com homepage, a photo posting to our Facebook and elevated member status. ProjectGuitar.com receives thousands of unique visitors monthly; Guitar Of The Month is a great way to showcase your creation to the world! Submissions are open throughout the month until about the last week when public voting opens. Polls close on the 1st of each month. Lastly, if you didn't win a previous month's Guitar Of The Month contest, you are encouraged to enter your build again the next month for a maximum of three consecutive months. Sometimes one entry just hits it out of the park! Tips and Guidelines Upload a maximum of eight photos for the instrument in your post Ensure that your guitar has a name otherwise we'll make one up ;-) List additional descriptive information specific to the build; for example.... The woods and materials used, especially if there is something unusual in there! Scale length(s) and other specific configuration details Electronics, pickups, etc. Is this your first build, fifth or five-hundredth? A bit of information on your own background as a builder helps give context to your build. Was it built in the garage, at school, work or in your own shop? A summary of the build's history. Was it built for yourself, friend/family or a client? Did you design the instrument and its specifications or was it built to spec? What were the inspirations behind the instrument and why were various build aspects chosen? Any background on what makes it special? Posting a link to your guitar-building website, Photobucket, Facebook, etc. is fine, even if it is your business. In the spirit of fairness we encourage instruments made by professional builders to have that disclosure made so there is a more even balance between weekend warriors and grizzled veterans. If you documented your build in the forums, post a link to the thread! Instruments with a build thread shared tend to attract more votes from the general community. Unsure what to write? Have a look around the entry archives for suggestions. If you have any questions about the contest, either PM me or ask forum members; we're a helpful bunch! This thread is exclusively for entry posts only - any post that is not an entry will be deleted. We love to hear your discussions and opinions on the month's entries whilst the polls are open. Alternatively, head over to that instrument's build thread if one has been made in the entry post. Good luck to all entrants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterOfTheWind Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 This is my 2nd build and was one of the most challenging project I've ever done. I put a ridiculous amount of time into it. On the first day of working on it, it jerked on the router and took a chunk of meat out of my finger and drew a lot of blood, that is what earned it it's color. I designed this body with functionality and uniqueness in mind. Body: Ash , Padouk accent (Pickup rings, switch, back cover) Neck : 24 fret Floyd neck Scale: 25.5" Pickups: Artec Electronics: 3 way switch, tone, volume Finish: Torch, Dye, Shellac, Oil Hope you like it.

komodo Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) The Dragon This build was one I did for myself, with every detail being what I would pick on my uber guitar (which is what the build thread was titled). The initial build was mothballed after I had too many builds going at once. When I picked it back up again, I went full steam for three months, doing several new techniques that was a big learning opportunity. SpecsNeck 25" scale length Gaboon ebony fretboard with dragon inlay using white and gold mother of pearl rosewood neck of unknown variety-best educated guess is Panama (Yucatan) rosewood ebony faceplate Sperzel open back tuners Body swamp ash capped with 5A quilted maple front and back full cream binding Hardware/Electronics Seymour Duncan custom shop - Bridge: SH-5 custom 8 (Alnico 8), Neck: Seymour Duncan Jazz simple one volume, one tone with a .022 Sprague orange drop cap for the tone three way switch B/BN/N Edited December 28, 2015 by komodo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
