YIKES, I miscounted the votes on Appearance and in doing so announced the wrong 3rd place winner.

I'm sorry sorry. I figured I'd better make it right rather than leave my mistake. So, I apologize to everyone for being a dunderhead.

ROADMAN · March 18th, 2009, 11:20 AM

good choice.....Scatter Lee

TDPRI · March 18th, 2009, 11:27 AM

How the judging took place:

The judges voted for their favs in each category (ingenuity, originality, appearance, build thread and overall result). The winner of each category got 5 points, the second place got 3 points and then 1 point for everyone else receiving a vote. The Scattesquire got the most points total. Followed closely by the Palletcaster and the CADocaster.

Way to go guys! May your 100$ be spent wisely on future builds.

Tim Armstrong · March 18th, 2009, 11:30 AM

Every single entry was a winner! That sounds like meaningless happytalk, but it isn't.

You guys all ROCK!!!!

Buckocaster51 · March 18th, 2009, 12:00 PM

I'll tell you one thing kids, ALL of those builds had a lot going for them. It was not easy trying to find something to make one rise to the top.

Kudos to everybody involved.

That's great! I really enjoyed all the photos of the build!

KevinB · March 18th, 2009, 12:11 PM

Great builds everyone and congratulations to the winners!

Scatter Lee's thread was simply one of the most informative and downright entertaining I've ever seen.

Mike Simpson · March 18th, 2009, 12:14 PM

I am surprised, thankful and honored to be included in the top 3... Thanks to Paul and the panel of judges and all the other contestants for a fun month of building, creativity and innovation. It was fun trying to see what I could make instead of buy and throwing caution to the wind and trying new things.

Thanks Again to all and congrats to Scatterlee.

pickaguitar · March 18th, 2009, 12:15 PM

Congrats Scatter Lee! Your build was amazing IMO...great thread, pics, artwork :)

martyb1 · March 18th, 2009, 12:24 PM

Congrats to Scatter and Big Mike
I can't believe I made the top three
There was a point I was going to back out
Special thanks to Paul and the rest of the challengers
This was great fun and all I can say is
Look out next year

bingy · March 18th, 2009, 12:31 PM

I'm shocked to not see pics of the winners...at least links...

jimd · March 18th, 2009, 12:35 PM

Congratulations to everyone who participated. I enjoyed every single build thread, and learned something from each of them.

I hope that those who didn't finish in time, stick it out and keep posting their builds. I'm looking forward to seeing those finished up too.

ps. Scatterlee, do us all a favor and don't use that money on tools or parts. I really enjoyed your ingenuity and use of low-tech tools. Spend it on beer.

Maricopa · March 18th, 2009, 12:38 PM

Congrats ScatterMan! Hell of a job.
Of course my disappointment at not winning is tempered by the fact that I get to keep my guitar.

buddywayne · March 18th, 2009, 12:40 PM

Well, this $100 build deal cost me a lot time and some sleep. Some of the best reading and watching I have ever done. Thanks to everyone and congrats to all for participating.
