Bizman62 Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 This one's tougher than any during my membership! The past decade as a member of a Scotch tasting group has taught me to look at various aspects aside the obvious. The overall looks and craftmanship are to me the obvious criteria for guitars. A new edge, a good story, details that either serve a purpose or just look stunning, innovations to solve an issue, fixes turned to features, rare models... They all add to the sum. The problem is that each and every participant gets points in most of the categories! Brilliant workmanship, stylish and unique details, rare models, good stories, the WOW! effect... They all are winners! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 It's not fair - I want to vote for more than one! Congratulations to every builder. There are some seriously classy guitars on display this month! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistermikev Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Couldn't agree more with both above. PGOTM has been overflowing with great builds lately and I have actually been sort of scoring entries based on: 1 pt for looks/shock factor, 1 pt for "heart", 1pt for newbie here on the forum, 1 pt for build quality. Unfortunately we have several newcomers who all scored a 4/4... so I had a really hard time voting. I feel like I should apologize to anyone I didn't vote for - I actually feel guilty! Nice job guys - take a bow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjr1515 Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 I agree with all the above. One of the strongest set of entries so far. My method is usually, 'which one would I want to take home to play every day' OK that failed, because it's pretty much all of them. So I've raised the bar. 'Which one, when I hang it back on the wall, pull out the plugs and switch off the lights, would I look back at, for just one last glimpse, in the disappearing light of the closing door? And there's one of those here... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmitry Sushkov Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 From my side: almost all builds are great. My personal criteria: don't vote for myself, don't vote for clones (especially fender clones). so only one meets all criterias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argytar Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Hi! I enjoyed all fellow builds too, and would want to have them in my arsenal! I was envious of the meticulous relicing of the Futura! Wish I could execute this as tastefully in my builds! It must rock out so hard! Also, it is a build out of Korina which was a staple in this month’s builds!! LP1 is also cool in her own right! If your first build looks like that, you are off to a great start! The Shiv!!! Ugh , why did you have to enter this month! When I saw your entry I knew instantly you would take the contest! Delicious build! Great detail, great coloring and playing chops! A little pointy for my tastes, I am not a metal guy, but still an ultra enviable build!! Kudos!! The Czech republic build is a work of art and Dmitry is a pro builder! I don t know if I could play Mr Shuskov’s instrument, but it is such an admirable build that truly stands out! I would have to say nonetheless, that this month the most original builds were the Shiv and Mr Shuskov’s 9-stringer! Bravo! Congrats to all the fellow participants, GPGOTMC is always an enjoyable process! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willliam_q Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Wow, glad I got mines in last month or wouldn’t have had a chance!! Great selection to choose from but made it very difficult to come to a decision. great work done by all entrants and all should be proud regardless of who wins!
