[Jebberz]

Vote in - felt like voting for GOTY because each one was so beautiful

 

[rgand]

My vote's in. This month, you almost have to get creative to vote. Like write all the entrants on slips of paper and pull one. In the end, though, I did get criteria that singled one out.

 

[Verne Bunsen]

Generally it’s a pretty easy choice for me when I have a guitar entered, not really so much this time though, haha! My vote is in, and let me just say, who ever wins, great work all!

 

[Dano]

It sure would be nice to be able to play them all before deciding!    :guitaristgif:

 

[Dano]

Well, it came down to;

Would I trade my guitar for another one in the submissions?  The honest truth was yes so that is where my vote went.

3 Teles and a Mooncaster. What to do?

Three F-hole guitars and a non F-hole guitar.  Same conundrum.

I'd like to tell all four builders to go screw themselves for making me work so hard deciding who to vote for.

That's the nicest thing anyone has said to me all day!

This is the most quoted post I've seen. It says it all, though. :laughing11: :icon_thumright:

Possibly the hardest vote ever.  I declined and had my wife vote for me. LOL. I have no idea which she voted for, but she did go through referenced build threads. 
Not a single one I that group I’m not gassing over. 

 

[stratamania]

I normally vote really quickly but this month all entries are very good.  :icon_scratch:

Indeed.

If entrants would like to fast track Fedex their entry to me for QC and checking purposes it may sway my vote  :laughing7:

3 Teles and a Mooncaster. What to do?

Three F-hole guitars and a non F-hole guitar.  Same conundrum.

I think I am seeing a trend here.

Three designs from the owner and one that is mainly a Warmoth tribute design from the Merle run.
Three with matching headstocks and one without.
One with gold hardware and three without.

 

[Logrinn]

Yes, this was tougher than usual, but finally my vote’s in.
Good luck to all.

I was noticing this as well. Three transparent finishes, one solid. Three with single coils and one with humbuckers. Three from the southwest, one from the northeast. Cue Rod Sterling. Or Rod Stewart, whichever....
