I think this is the toughest month in a while - not one single entry that I'm struggling to find something nice to say about. I would happily own every single one of these.
RDub - Lone Wolf yet another argument for a separate acoustic GOTM - just a perfect looking acoustic. Love the zebrawood, love the little inlay and binding touches... just a great great looking guitar.
andyt - Sheena given that I don't like swirls, scalloped frets, maple fretboards, lipstick pups, 6-in-a-row tuners, strat headstocks or strat jacks - yet still think this is a stunning guitar is testament to what a great build it is. +1 on the sister kudos also.
jvillavicencio - D-Classic probably my least favorite here, but still a really fantastic build. I'm not a fan of natural finishes and I find the horns a little too wide for my taste, but big kudos for an original design - not just a copy or a barely disguised copy. And a very well built looking guitar, just not aesthetically my cup of tea. purely a taste thing.
Simo - JD6 got my vote. I don't think i need to explain why. Just preposterously good looking.
Jester - Drifter part of a 3-way tie for 2nd place, for me. Love the tailpiece, love the wood choices for neck/headstock. great finish, great looking guitar.
PRSTait - The Raven 2 also in the 2nd place group. much improved for the finish change and an extremely accomplished piece of work.
hooglebug - Sakura as always, this is a really great build - excellent wood choice, finishing, inlay work and so on. I can't put my finger on exactly why this doesn't light me up, aesthetically, however. It's close, but no cigar, on a purely personal preference level.
Maikkeli - The Sun This is incredible for a 1st build, and the 3rd of my ties for 2nd place. excellent finish, great design and some really nice touches (like the rail on the headstock). Great work, and deffo a contender for 1st place for me.
