Yes this is a shameless plug. But it has become obvious that the Great Guitar Build Off is most about social media and popularity. So this is my social media. I'm sure those of you who watch my YT videos already know about and have already hopefully voted. But if not, and for any others that see this post in the next couple of days please follow the link and click the heart on my bio page. Vote fore me! Thanks to all who have and all who may do so, much appreciated. Linky, greatguitarbuildoff.com/products/dane-nichols |

Done.
At least I think so, I clicked on the heart icon and I think it incremented one higher.
It seems open to abuse because there's no sign in and therefore no record of me apart from my IP number, so with a VPN anyone could add loads of votes?

Hmmm. I smell fraud. It's exactly as I just described.

Hate to sound like a sore looser but there are some very poorly built guitars getting an awful lot of votes. And some very decent builds with only a handful of votes. There needs to be better way to judge these things. Oh well still a lot of nice guitars built as a result. |

That just reinforces my point. Mediocrity propped up with skulduggery. Two votes from Château Hippie because Best Beloved weighed in with a thumbs-up too. Wish you well Dane.

yep! They need to make it so only one vote form one person. Or do like the TV shows where you can vote up to 10 times. LOL! Never could figure out why anyone needs to vote more than once.
But the GGBO is till new. I hope next year if the do this. That they put in a category for first time builders. I agree with Dane. So many bad builds this year. I didn't care for the invitational part of this years contest.
They also need to make the rules stick. There were some that have a lot more than 6 videos. Well, they do have some bugs to work out. Over 400 people in this years comp. The dead line for some if not all was also over looked. I know things come up. But if people are going to in a competition you think they should finish in time and not go over the dead line. I have been watching a show were if you don't make the dead line you are out.
I like Ben Crow, but his build for me was not up to standards. To me it looks rushed and he still took second? All I know is, that there are lot of odd looking guitars this year. HA!

Agree Eddie, I like new ideas and approaches but a guitar held together with bamboo skewers is just to weird for me. I'm not really a fan of pointy or strange shapes. I'd be happy to build pointy if someone commissioned it but for me personally not my thing.

I put your bass up on my Instagram feed and got some great comments.
Hope I was able to get you some votes because you did a really good job on that bass.
