Man, you just can't argue with those results.

Phil, Oi, Scatter - you guys did some absolutely incredible work this year. A big congratulations to you 3. The accolades are well deserved!


**EDIT** Like a bonehead, I didn't even congratulate our Beginner Category winners . You guys were really inspiring doing what you did. Having never built a guitar before, you jumped into the deep end and turned out some beautiful and great-playing guitars. Indeed, congratulations and attaboys are in order!

Incredibly impressive stuff this year. Kwerk made perhaps the most unique guitar I have ever seen.

 

[Ike57]

Congratulations to all winners !!

There were some incredible guitars this year and I have to admit I had a hard time voting. Congrats to the beginners, who all fashioned excellent first guitars or basses.

Igork's fastest build still has me because that is one fine Tele.

Congrats to the winners, especially igork; knocking such a beautiful guitar together in a mere week is a real achievement.

Congratulations to the winners - all well deserved. And thanks to everyone (especially Paul for putting it on) for making the whole challenge so much fun (and hard work...) from start to finish.

Well, I suppose a tie for 24th place isn't that bad considering it's my first complete build.

Congrats to the winners. Here's to looking forward to even harder build "challenges" to come!

Congrats to the winners. Here's to looking forward to even harder build "challenges" to come!

Actually if you combine all the other ties you tied for 20th. Well done.

 

[gitlvr]

Congratulations to all the winners! Well done, and well deserved in every category!

 

[nosmo]

I already posted my congratulations in each of the winner's build threads, so I'll use this thread to congratulate all the other contestants. That has got to be the finest bunch of instruments I have ever seen in one place. So many inovative ideas and so much precise craftmanship. I was honored to be a part of it, and I'm looking forward to doing it again next year. Thanks again to Paul and TDPRI.

Remember - If you steal an idea from one person it's plagerism - if you steal ideas from a hundred people it's research

With bells on my friend!


Congrats to all the winners! And congrats to all those who finished on time, I know what that takes and respect it a lot!!
