guitar/bass of the month question..STATEMENT AND VOTE ENDED....

[dmraco]

Ok....only seems fair....majority rules....

Please see my post on page three......

 

[line6man]

All Warmoth only.

 

[exaN]

I think as long as it has something Warmoth on it.

 

[Nando Vallart]

Voted on "one OR another" at least...

 

[pabloman]

I say either or. Or a complete homebuild owner finished kind of things.

 

[JaySwear]

as long as half is warmoth i say it counts. they do make replacement parts, after all (as a few people pointed out in the other thread).

It'll be interesting to see how this turns out, i've pretty much decided im done entering guitars anyways, seems like the contest is decided before its ever started, and I wasnt a fan of pointless popularity contests in high school. And thats all I really got to say about that.

I never saw it that way from either a member or guitar standpoint...

I don't think the outcome is predetermined. I've seen many guitars win that I didn't vote for. Some winners have surprised me.

i agree. the last couple winners have been relatively new to the board, while some of the guitars who received only a few votes were from members who had been around a long time. seems like it's a pretty fair guitar beauty contest, really.

Yep. A good example is Jaylene's Jazzmaster. Not a highly figured top, not a fancy dye or burst top, not hot-rodded, no exotic neck, no exotic fret board, plain vintage color, etc. Just a well executed build.

 

[Finch]

eh, everybody is inclined to their opinion and its not my place to change that, and I already know my two cents worth aint worth nothing. The whole discussion on this subject is just really discouraging. It reeks of elitism and it was my impression that this board existed to help people. So I'll just go back to my lurking and yall can do what yall want.

Yea, that is a very good example...
A lot of sweat went into that project and it turned out great!

Wow, what a bummer of an attitude...
Really sorry you feel like that.  I certainly don't see that vision in this forum at all  :dontknow:

DUDE, this is such a horrible attitude to have for such a fun little contest that everyone here, even if they don't enter a guitar, seems to love. It's a great way for us to showcase our beloved Warmoths. Fender has their forums, Gibson has theirs & this is ours. I don't think it's elitism or punishing someone to ask them to have a Warmoth part on a guitar that they enter into a contest on the Warmoth board.

I'm just having my 8th Warmoth build finished & can't wait to enter it in an upcoming contest.

 

[JaySwear]

:icon_thumright: in the end the GOTM "contest" is really just an excuse to get good looking guitars all listed in one thread. whether we can all agree on what exactly should be allowed or not

 

[Mor Paul]

I'll be entering my Tonarcaster when it's all done, even if I'm not the most popular kid here  :icon_thumright:

All Warmoth neck and body

Makes for a more even contest to me. But it's not a major deal either way.

 

[bbl4ck]

I voted  Warmoth neck OR body...
Mainly because an entire Warmoth requirement would eliminate those that have the skills and/or equipment to build from scratch.
I would not want that talent to be banned from the contest!

+1...............Otherwise it's just a showcase for people to show off their neck installation abilities. " Look at what Tonar made, I bought it so now I'm cooler than everybody else and I'm going to enter a contest to prove it. I should win because my custom build body was more expensive than your showcase body"...............That's kinda the impression that this leaves. Warmoth is a parts company so parts should be good enough to get you in. Somewhere I saw something posted about a cell phone. It went along the lines of " I'm not impressed you bought it you didn't build it." That's how I feel about the Warmoth finished criteria. Regardless if they ship it to your house or not that's still tonar or whoever else's guitar. He's making threads to prove it. It's like tonar is puttin out sex tapes with your lady and you're watchin them before you even get your hands on her. I understand that these guitars are your pride and joy and you are proud of them and you should be, they are great but It doesn't make sense to post pics and have a contest full of some stuff you bought on a retail website and you had supposedly customized according to a predetermined list of options. To me a home made plywood hacksawed spray painted guitar should win everytime compared to a point and click masterpiece. Especially on a build your own guitar themed forum. That's my opinion anyway. :rock-on:

 

[pabloman]

Don't get me wrong, I am very interested in having a Tonar finished body. ccasion14:
