Now that you,ve won Tim, what will you do with your winnings? Where will you go?? :) Was any scatt used in the building of this instrument? If so, what kind??

BAW4742 · March 18th, 2009, 01:13 PM

Congrats to the the winners and a big 'at-a boy to all of the builders involved. Way to go guys.

This was an awesome idea and great fun to follow.

jkingma · March 18th, 2009, 01:20 PM

Congrats Scatter Lee... and to everyone else who gave it a go. It was a really fun month watching all these guitars come to life. I'd be proud to own any one of them.

I'm already looking forward to next years competition.

Doug Ferguson · March 18th, 2009, 01:57 PM

Congrats Scatter Lee, and to all who particiapted. It was loads of fun watching all those ideas take shape and come together! Thanks!

straightface · March 18th, 2009, 02:15 PM

Great work everybody and congrats to you Scatter Lee! The building talent on this forum never ceases to amaze me.

Jack Wells · March 18th, 2009, 02:56 PM

I enjoyed all the build threads. A lot of ingenuity shown by the participants. I learned a lot and got some great ideas ............... which I will steal.

Scatter Lee ............ you are a Telecaster building machine.

djsommer · March 18th, 2009, 03:11 PM

Beautiful work everyone! It's inspiring to see such quality instruments being made - it shows all of us that with a little time & effort, we can do the same thing. Of course, having the fountain of knowledge known as tdpri only a few clicks away doesn't hurt!

grgryus · March 18th, 2009, 03:13 PM

Fantastic - I have been gripped by every instalment!
It's far better than tv!

NewGuy410 · March 18th, 2009, 03:20 PM

Congrats Scatter Lee!
I think you need to talk to the DIY TV network about getting yourself a show.
I know I'd watch it.

GeeJay · March 18th, 2009, 03:23 PM

Fantastic effort from all concerned, even those that were unable for one reason or another to complete in time.

To the three guys on the podium, I think your guitars look amazing. If they play as well as they look, they are fine indeed.

As for the winner, I must say that's the build I followed most and the end result looks stellar.

Congrats..

jimdkc · March 18th, 2009, 03:27 PM

As a newbie here, I think I came around at a great time! It was so much fun to read all the build threads and get a concentrated crash course on building a great Tele on the cheap!

Congrats to the winners... and to all the participants! There was something unique and impressive in every build.

Thanks!
Jim

DMRoller · March 18th, 2009, 03:48 PM

Congrats to the winners, but major props to all the participants. I had a great time viewing all the threads to see how folks were doing this.

Thanks for the contest, Paul!

Congrats to everyone who attempted the contest. That's what really made it fun. I hope to see more of these in the future—with a different twist of course.

guitarbuilder · March 18th, 2009, 04:03 PM

Hey, Congrats you guys..... til next year.... I'll be planning my next bizarre design.

bo · March 18th, 2009, 04:13 PM

DANG! Those are all impressive. I really like the looks of the Palletcaster. That whole coppery look is really cool.

Ron Garson · March 18th, 2009, 04:21 PM

What fantastic work by everyone. All worthy of prizes!!

markxander · March 18th, 2009, 05:18 PM

This was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I'm hoping I have access to a workshop next year, I'd love to be a part of it.
