AUGUST GUITAR/BASS of the MONTH: WINNER is gtr475

[gtr475]

I'm entering the '51 SCP bass... so many great entries this month, there's no disgrace in not winning...
Warmoth finished Butterscotch Blonde Ash body
Warmoth Maple neck finished by myself, relicing also done by myself - but as I have a small company I'd like to consider it pro finished.
And that pickup is 100% passive.

Nice bass guitar. I like the worn hardare.

Thx. The headstock got Dunlop 65 Lemon fretboard oil as well as the fretboard. Nothing on the back though.
The frets are Dunlop 6130.

I really like the way that headstock looks. I've been jonesing for a Pau Ferro neck... now it's worse. Gonna have to pull the trigger pretty soon, or I'm liable to do something stupid, like pay bills.

I haven't spent enough time with EMGs to hate them, so I'll say that there's plenty of nice guitars this month 

My only experience for a while were the EMG selects that I have in one of my guitars.. they are a budget version of the EMGs and the worst pickups on the planet!
on the other Hand, the David Gilmour's in Lukes strat sound amazing!!!!

The Lukes that I have on my other strat really sound amazing.

Then I won't mention how good it feels to play on.

It's a Warmoth finished Gold Top Gold strat with a Warmoth Goncalo Alves neck/fingerboard  Pickguard from Pickguard Heaven.  The custom DangerousR6 neck plate was designed by my daughter Becca.  Photos taken by Becca's good friend Lindsay.

This field is by far the hardest to pick from.  They are all f-ing wonderful... this is gonna be interesting..

it seems that each month there are more and more entries.  Do you guys think more folks are buying w's or more are finding this site?

[Super Turbo Deluxe Custom]

Good question.  We also have repeat entries as well, combine that with new entries, voila.

I'll let you in on a secret... you CAN vote for your own entry

Bah!
I still think it's in poor spirit to vote for yourself.
Plus, of course you want your own guitar to win, the question is how does everyone else feel about it.

[Cagey]

I don't see any problem to it. If you entered, it says you think yours is the best choice. Do you suppose Barack and Michelle Obama voted for McCain in the last presidential election? <grin>

Of course, this is a little different, in that you don't know what all the entries will be. It's entirely possible somebody could enter something that you do think is better than your entry. In that case, to keep a clear conscience, you'd have to vote for that. I'm sure if Kim Jong-Il would have been in the last presidential race, Barack and Michelle would have voted for him, since he'd have clearly been the far superior candidate.
