ProjectGuitar.com Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Welcome to the Guitar Of The Month entries for June 2016! 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, new or old. 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 tens of 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. ProTip: Voters vote with their ears as well as their eyes....if you have any soundclips of the instrument or even a YouTube video, do post it! Everybody loves to look at beautiful instruments, but hearing them demo'ed is 10x as important. 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...
verhoevenc Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 I'll play ball again this month. Given that I've finished a lot of guitars the past little bit it doesn't seem fair to throw in one every month for the next 6 months. So this month I present for your consideration two interpretations of my Model2J design; a vintage inspired version and a thinline. Specs both feature: Hipshot open-back locking tuner Fender 2 3/16" spread adjustable mustang bridges and USA jazzmaster tremolos 1 11/16" bone nuts Schaller style locking strap buttons 25.5" scale set neck 1 meg volume, 1 meg ton, 3-way selector, and traditionally wired rhythm circuit in the upper bout Mid-60s Styled M2J Specs: Alder body with tobacco sunburst finish Age tinted maple neck with Amazon rosewood fretboard and white binding and dots Amazon rosewood headplate and backstrap Tortoise shell pickguard Loureiro jazzmaster vintage-wind pickups M2J Thinline Specs: Semi-hollow (center block) swamp ash body with Mary Kay white finish Curly maple neck with ebony board and block MOP inlays Mary Kay white headstock White/B/W thinline styled pickguard with "stealth installed" 3-way selector switch Curtis Novak widerange humbuckers in jazzmaster pickup housings Hope you enjoy!
