Winter Buildoff 2019 Voting - Final

[Scoops]

June 22 at Midnight : Why that date? Because it's 2 days after the start of summer 2020; even the end date is a straggler!

Would you wear your Tutu for us on 22/2020?

 

[Jon Clegg]

Only if I were to drink a lot of MD 20/20 first.

 

[ctmullins]

Then there's that hindsight to consider...

 

[Beej]

I'm wishing I'd done the Gibson 20/20 so that I could not make the 2020 deadline, and somehow have 20/20 hindsight on my 20/20 choice for 22/2020...

 

[Scoops]

Then there's that hindsight to consider...

I think that's the kind of hindsight that can't be unseen

I have my outfit picked out for the demo video now.

 

[Jon Clegg]

I have my outfit picked out for the demo video now.

I can see it now....


And I wish I could un-see it.

 

[Rôckhewer]

And I wish I could un-see it.

There ya go... I prefer a little 4/20, over MD 20/20 anyway.

I'm afraid maybe if we went this path, none of the builds would get done

 

[Beej]

Only if you're sticking with Indica. The Sativa Gang will complete and then be driving their basses down Santa Monica Blvd...

Blend of pop culture references there, excuse me...ahem...

 

[ctmullins]

Yeah, I have no idea what you just said....

 

[Rôckhewer]

Only if you're sticking with Indica. The Sativa Gang will complete

Hmmm... ok, I'm good.

Is there a gallery of these guitars?

Go to the first post of this thread for links to all of the entries.

OK, quick review
Here are the top contenders

Air Space
Everybody build from the same concept
Double neck
Mothman
Minimalist/Moderne
Collaboration

I think I'd like to scratch the collaboration only because there will be an ownership issue that need to be dealt with, and potentially shipping stuff across the world will diminish build time
The only way around this is if @Rôckhewer lazer cuts everything for all of us

This came up at some point but I'd like to add it to the list.....All 1 wood. I think this is a great idea

Thoughts

 

[Reedt2000]

I think minimalist has a lot of potential. It could be something modern like the Marleaux basses, or classic like a 50s P. It could be an opportunity to hide controls and pickups for an aesthetically minimal design or to build simple and straightforward (one PU, one knob for example). It could be a single wood or minimal pieces like 1-piece body w/ 1-piece neck. I think there is room for all of the builder's personal flair and preferences and wouldn't exclude anybody with a theme that opposes what they like to build. (Just my opinion of course )

 

[Beej]

I agree with cutting Collaboration for the same reasons. I also like the All 1 Wood idea, might be interesting.

I'll play ball with any of these selections.

 

[mapleglo]

I have one word.

Mothman!

 

[Beej]

I have one word.

Mothman!

If we do it... I may already have a template...
