Your guitar looks pretty darn awesome, & in these contests, you never know. I've been wrong about the winner every time so far, so it's anyone's race to win.

[Jusatele]

Zebraaaaaaaaaaaaaaa wow, that is nice and very well done.

 

[ptirman]

Thanks very much Jusatele! I absolutely love playing this guitar. Very versatile.
Warmoth did such a great job of taking a concept and making it reality!

 

[gstring120]

Leaving for Sturgis, SD on the 5th so I'll probably be on the road and won't get to vote.  There's some very nice entries this month as well, but I'm kind of diggin' on Updown's guitar.

 

[Jusatele]

Thanks very much Jusatele! I absolutely love playing this guitar. Very versatile.

the Zebra on white just knocks me out, once past that the build is great, good work, now to get past the crowd of excellent guitars in this month, sure am glad I am not entered. who ever wins this month deserves it. However, that Zebra so far is at the top of my list.

 

[gstring120]

Went ahead and entered mine even though I'll be on the road.

Maple body, Goncalo neck, Fatback profile. SS frets. Painted by Phil Long.

 

[Cagey]

I can't help myself; I gotta say it: I'm sure I've seen an uglier guitar, but I can't remember where or when.

There. I said it. Put me on "ignore" so you don't have to hear any more of my thoughtless, callous, irreverent shit.

 

[willievega]

Most people are doomed to wear blinders their whole life. Stuck in the 70's.  It's ok to just like the same ole things, I guess. A friend of mine had a T-shirt that read;
'You laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at you cause you're all the same'.
I see some pictures of Warmoth guitars that are very different than the 800,000,000,000. 'normal' guitars from the typical manufacturers. I find that refreshing.
Companies like Warmoth allow people to make 'their' own guitars.
If everyone had blinders on we wouldn't have evolved musically, to the point of Gregorian chants or even a radio to listen to them on.
The whole of humanity has copped a ride on the backs of those who didn't have blinders on.
