We are now announcing the August, 2021 Guitar of the Month contest!  August's contest will be "Warmoth/professionally finished" and requires at least a Warmoth neck or body to qualify.

Submissions must be sent to uwfgom@gmail.com, and contain two images no greater than 1024x768, along with your description and details of the instrument.  Send your submission in plain text email.  Your photos must be attachments to the email.  Your UnOfficialWarmoth Forum user name must be included in the body of the email.

In turn, your images will added to this message, which is August's submission thread.

Submissions will be accepted until exactly 7 days from the date and time of this post, so get your cameras clicking!

As usual, discussion about the submissions can take place below.

Please do not post additional photos in any replies to this thread.  Links to other UW threads or external sites are fine.

Please try to stick to the entry requirements:

I'm a touch saddened to find that we're skipping the self finished month when we lost July, but that gives me another month to polish the build and prepare for September! In the mean time I'll keep it tuned here for inspiration/voting. Good luck all!
 
Voxic, -VB- and JPOL007 get this month's contest off to an amazing start! Good luck all!
 
Was hoping I would be the only entry :doh: Those are two beautiful builds :icon_thumright:
 
Just another 4 entries join the contest! Welcome Unzbuzzled, Gil Music, Mjh36 and Blackouts!
 
What a spread! I am seriously drooling over one that is not my own, yowza!
