All of the entries are outstanding, but only one can win.

Good luck to all the builders!

 

[anorakDan]

Wow! Tough decision. Every entry deserves the title. Good luck to all the builders.

You said a mouthful, Dan.  Rare company to find oneself in, for sure.

You can say that again  :icon_thumright:
I consider myself to be very privileged to be placed amongst this group of beauties  :glasses9:
By the way Bagman, I will be making a copy of your tele some day.  It is a real clasic....
Best of luck to everyone and  :rock-on:

 

[hannaugh]

Seriously, that black Tele is the shizz, and I'm not usually big on solid black finishes.  Awesome combo of elements.

 

[Cagey]

Yeah, every time I see that thing I get envious all over again.

 

[Updown]

:dontknow:  Anyone else notice that there are 3 with Spalted Maple.

I voted for the same one that I actually voted for and actually voted correctly and won for once in all my time of voting.
.... that make any cense  :laughing7:

Hint ..... chocolate  :icon_biggrin:

Good luck all ..... they are ALL exceptional guitars  :guitarplayer2:

BTW ... that Black Tele (Bagmans) is one that anyone would love to own ..... Hands down, No arguments  :icon_thumright:

 

[AutoBat]

That wenge is quite delicious.  Had the headstock been pointing the correct direction I probably would've voted for it.

 

[Great Ape]

Tough decision...tough....TOUGH I SAY!! They're all exceptional guitars.

Agree...lots of Teles and spalt.  Glad to see we are moving away from the AAAAAAAAA quilt/flame LPs.  Not that there is anything wrong with them (I have two!!!) I just think the board is looking for something different/unique.

Go Coffee table!!  :icon_biggrin:

 

[mayfly]

Every instrument is very very nice.

But.

There is one that is almost perfect.  Just needs a b-bender.

 

[bluestometal]

So hard to pick up just one! I'm really torn between two on 'em.

:icon_scratch:  What ONLY 2 


In that case .... Toss a coin  :icon_biggrin:

That's Trevor-speak for "needs a Floyd."

 

[SlartiBartfast]

I didn't vote for it the first time around, but it earned my vote for GotY. So far though, my vote has been the kiss of death for GotM entries.  :dontknow:

Of the 3 Guitar of the Year winners, we've had a Warmoth finished BK VIP, an Iron Maiden Strat, and a Tonar finished TV yellow mahogany Tele.  3 different body styles, three different woods, 3 different people doing the finish.  A 5A figured top LP is actually overdue.

never looked at it that way from the GOTY perspective.  In the end, a well executed design and finish will pop to the top, independent of the wood.

I would figth with the coin over his decision  :icon_biggrin:

 

[hannaugh]

I'm pretty sure my LP is the only LP that has ever won... right?  And really, very few LPs even get entered. 

Although I love Strats, I'm glad we haven't had many all-Strat months recently.  I remember we had one month where EVERY entry was a Strat except for like one Tele.
