Starts Dec 30th, ends on April Fools Day.
Build from a kit, build from parts, build from scratch but FFS show us what you are up to!
Any piece of guitar related clobber counts - guitar, bass, pedal, amp - anything that takes your fancy. It would be nice if you were tackling something new to you, but it’s not mandatory.
What’s a build thread? A thread that hopefully discusses and displays your intention, your progress in as much detail as you prefer and the outcome… your thread should titled 1Q22 challenge followed by your project and name. Mine will be 1Q22 challenge Downbytheriver 335 style from a kit with stains. The kit should arrive tomorrow and I’ll start my thread…
The main motivation is that we’re all in it together but the intention is that we will endeavour to have a result… which will be arrived at by the method,
@Roland suggested, as follows...
Voting starts 1st April 2022.
Vote for your top 3 entries. If you're an entrant you can't vote for yourself.
1st choice gets 5 points
2nd choice gets 3 points
3rd choice gets 1 point
Voting ends... to be determined
Hopefully this will involve a prize or prizes depending on what we can up with. There’s no limit on imagination, creativity or budget - just join in and share!
Please try to avoid posting on this thread so we can keep it as a clear invitation and record of what is going on!

Mine is technically not a kit but will be a Jaguar.

Eddie Vedder inspired telecaster using a Harley Benton kit.
Was tempted by an optical comp kit from jeds peds, though, apparently it's based on the same circuit the thorpy fat general is based on, and that is supposed to be a nice comp. Maybe I'll do it if I have a cheap enough January...
