ProjectGuitar.com Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 Welcome to the Guitar Of The Month entry for November 2021! 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 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 creations to the world! Submissions are open throughout the month with public voting open in the last week. Polls close on the first weekend 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 and eclipses everything! 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 towards less experienced builders, we encourage professional builders to consider whether their entries constitute being "fair". Commercial "standard" models are not a valid entry, guys....Guitar Of The Month is about unique and characterful builds, not rubber-stamped production units! We reserve the right to pull entries that are thinly-guised adverts; ProjectGuitar.com is about community, sharing build processes and the exchange of ideas - not a vehicle for adverts by members that don't engage with the community. 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. In our experience this is the biggest attractor of votes. 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 the moderator team 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mistermikev Posted November 19, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 "The Twang Master" Woods: bookmatched flamed maple top, bookmatched flamed maple fretboard, bookmatched flamed maple headstock overlay, bookmatched ash body, birdseye maple neck. specs: 25.5" scale length, 9.5" - 12" compound radius, 1.625" bone nut, 6.1 lbs final weight. hardware: gotoh in tune compensated brass saddle "cut back" bridge. gotoh 510 21:1 magnum locking tuners. seymour duncan vintage stack pickups. allied luthier double action truss with maple sheath, this is build #8 for me... built in my modest garage. my background - I am a humble student of google guided by many here! special thanks to the forum -many members here were an active part of this build from inspiration to feedback to helping me keep my machines running and I must acknowledge that first and foremost! Many learning experiences on this build... first time cutting my own fretboard, first time bookmatching my own top, stuggled at many points along the way and the members here always there to catch me when I'm about to fall and/or encourage me when I feel like giving up!! This build was done for a friend of mine - kevin. He had been asking if I'd build something for a while and I finally gave in... this is the result. what makes it special? well the most unique features in my mind are the bookmatched fretboard, the unique design of the neck heel (profile goes right up to the attach point), truss access through the fretboard, and the radius'd top/cavity/back. build thread: video demo: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
