This is one of three polls for the 2010 $210 Tele Build Challenge -- Best Looking. You can only vote for ONE winner. The highest vote getter will be the Best Looking Winner.

(You will find two other polls -- "Overall Winner" and "Most Innovative" for you to vote on as well).

This year the three winners will get to keep their guitars. And Prizes will be awarded to each winner:

Overall Winner -- Squier Classic Vibe Custom Telecaster
Best Looking -- Klein Pickups Tele Pickup Set
Most Innovative -- Klein Pickups Tele Pickup Set

Here is a review of all the guitars to help you vote!

You make it sound like if you don't win then you have to give in your guitar :p

It would be useful to have a picture of all the guitars in a single thread, to remind us of them all. Just a suggestion...

allen st. john · May 4th, 2010, 04:38 PM

I'll second that. Love to vote, but I haven't been following all the threads.
A pic gallery would be great, but even a collection of links to the individual threads would work for me.

cheers
Allen

Yea, Paul!

Get busy and do all our footwork.

All due respect guys, give em a break for Pete's sake.

[Pauls sake?] ;)

If you want to vote look at the last 1-2 pages of each thread and make a decision.

Smokes!

But there's more than 20 entires. As much as i'd love to read what's essentially a 40 page thread i have other things to do. Paul on the other hand doesn't

All made sticky, Paul has your backs.

Now get busy and vote! ;)

RocknDrTom · May 5th, 2010, 03:16 PM

I am far from being the best looking winner, just as expected. Oh you mean we're to judge the instrument, not the person.... ;)

This one was really tough, because I narrowed it down to 4 that I thought were just absolutely gorgeous instruments. Very hard to decide, so I read thru all 4 posts from beginning to end to help decide.

iansmitchell · May 5th, 2010, 10:26 PM

I have to love the sheoakcaster, largely because it's made from a stump, yet so awesome lookin.

Its revolting I know sorry

guitarbuilder · May 6th, 2010, 12:22 PM

Oigun,
Thanks for your support...LOL. I have good self esteem so it's not a problem for me. :-).
After losing big time with the tidycatster last year, I wasn't even considering a win this year. Kinda like entering a marathon and happy to finish it.

guitarbuilder · May 6th, 2010, 12:57 PM

Soon, when you see the F....R company coming out with its version of it....you'll know it was a good idea :-).

The OB · May 8th, 2010, 07:00 PM

guitarbuilder · May 8th, 2010, 08:39 PM

Thanks for the vote OB. The guitar is too heavy as is. My 20 dollar neck weighs a ton. I believe it will be sporting something new soon.

Smokes! __________________ A Twin always will cut it... but I don't recommend it for everybody. It's like a big dog, you have to take responsibility for it. Not to mention... be prepared to lift it. BTW, how $good$ a guitar is, is no indicator of how badly it can be played!
