Not upset at all......big boy.....Yes, I know. Terribly sorry I've had to make everyone suffer just to get this image in @Jisch 's mind.

Okee Dokee
We are 2/3rds of the way done.
We have a number of already completed builds.
That's great!
Just gotta say the build quality is VERY impressive!
Cheers

Back to work Jon, I'll distract Freddy with some tika masala and nan
I saw for the next build-off it should be a requirement to explain where the name came from. I see all these builds and some of them I wonder how they came up with the name. Explain yourselves!!!!

I think I need to re-name mine, "Skeleton-P" is not technically a Skeleton design. I just thought it was a fun play on "Skeleton key"
Yours, the "Un-Named" one from @BishopJP and the 4000JP from @ctmullins were the ones I thought "okay, I get it". Some of them I kinda went "Okaaaaaayyyyyyy.........."
Mostly I'm a dork and want to know details like this.
Well the K-Space is from the shape being based on the Hammersmith Model K, combined with the Space from the contest's name. <Warning Geekery follows> K Space also is an extension of the concept of Fourier space well known in MR imaging. The k-space represents the spatial frequency information in two or three dimensions of an object. The k-space is defined by the space covered by the phase and frequency encoding data.

Hmmmm.....lemme see. I can see why you struggled with mine, so let me help

Seeing as I'm on my second neck, third face, second sound well and fourth resonator cone, I think that it will take too long to explain.

My instruments are all crimes against luthiery. This one is a 5 string, so it's the Malefactor 5.
My first build is made out of locust wood and mostly leftover (or robbed) parts, thus "Leftovers and Locust."
(Thinking I need a better final name, but I have a few weeks. "L&L" will do for now.)
The second is called "F1" because it's my first fretless build in this style. It was based off of a shape called "P2" because it was my second project. Though the technicality here is I titled a bass "P3" because it was the 3rd bass I made, still based in the second shape template for the body. But it does have a tilted headstock, so that could put this into the realm of P3, making it the P3-F1 project. That seems a little convoluted though.
I would have called them "Precision" and "Jazz" but apparently, those names were already spoken for.

"P3-F1-L&L" it is then!...I would have called them "Precision" and "Jazz" but apparently, those names were already spoken for.
I'm all for convoluted!
I respect you all too much to explain why mine is called 'semi-hollow six-string'
The "Bubble Wand" literally took me a while to grasp it, so don't give me too much credit.I respect you all too much to explain why mine is called 'semi-hollow six-string'

K-space was also the name of a bizarre comic strip in my school newspaper in college. (I think the writer of that strip was a physics major)
So looking at the threads, Looks like we'll be getting around 14 completed builds.
That's a 40% increase over past years.
If we do indeed get more completed entries, should I bump the number of votes up to 4?
