Thanks for posting this, it's great to make the build-off visible to people who don't visit the LC often...I know build threads can be lengthy at times, but at the end of the build-off you are presented a whole bunch of unique instruments on a silver platter. That's fun for everyone!

There are some pretty cool builds across these 4 categories that would be fun to play for sure.

Hint: it has four strings.
