theFB Guitar Challenge 2014

I suggest ...

• We use G4M as the supplier - link above
• You all order your kits by the end of the month
• We set a 2 month deadline for the builds & finishing
• I'll create a separate sub-section of the forum called "the Challenge"
• All participants create their own thread in that section and post plenty of progress pics, problems, etc.. Do that as soon as your order your kit so we know who's playing
• We "judge" in some way at the end of the compo
• The winner wins the satisfaction of being the winner!
• No budget limits, if you want to use expensive lipstick, liposuction and full plastic surgery on your pigkit, so be it, but you stand the risk of the pig still being judged as a pig ...

As I write this, G4M have got in stock

• Strat kits (46)
• Tele kits (22)
• Posh strat kits (6)
• Posh tele kits (2)
• LP Jr kits (11)
• LP kits (5)
• SG kits (18)
• JazzM kits (11)

Which should be enough for everyone who wants to play, to play.  Costs range from £65 to £95, which is cheaper than we'd have been able to do them anyway.  Perhaps all players donate £15 to theFretBoard@outlook.com, just as a gesture of generosity ... (not obligatory btw).

 

If you do order from G4M, you should add a comment somewhere that says "you should donate something to theFB for choosing your kits for all these orders" - and maybe (if nothing else), they'd give us something to use a prize.  I did ask them for a bulk order discount, but nothing doing.  They can contact me here, or via TTony@theFB.co.uk.

Everyone who's playing, start your own thread in this section, telling us what you've decided to build, with all the build pics, problem Q&As, etc, etc.

How would people feel about

- contributing £15 to theFB coffers ( theFretBoard@outlook.com ) as an entrance fee

- me funding some sort of (modest) prize for the winning entrant
