Simply beautiful! (Luthier: A. Meyer)
Oh, man — this is the most fun I’ve ever had on this blog (provided you define “fun” as “laughing hard enough to snort coffee through your nose”).
It sucked trying to pick a contest winner! I received over 150 guitar images, and I loved every single one of them (provided you define “love” as “the way you feel about pictures that make coffee come out of your nose”).
I made a little movie featuring several dozen of my favorites. If you’re drinking coffee, cover your nose.
It’s about four minutes long. You can fast-forward to 3:30 if you only want to see my top three picks. I think you’ll agree with me that they are remarkable in their ability to inspire strong emotional reaction, even after viewing so many truly memorable guitar designs. But frankly, I don’t recommend skipping ahead.
I pity the fool who misses out on any of the treasures herein. 
Apologies to all whose guitars weren’t included. They were all amazing! And thanks to everyone who made this such a memorable event! Let’s do it again soon.
:thumbup: Funny! And Truly inspirational….
Three out of four of mine made it in. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not.
Ha ha, congratulations to all of us! Especially the top three! I have to agree though, that we’re all winners. Heh.
If only the winner could be granted a free guitar for the ugliest guitar design ever… ha ha.
2 out of 3 ain’t bad, i had fun, should be more contest like this :thumbup:
Oh, such beauty!!! I’m SO proud to have made it to the top three, I might save up and get these done for real!!
It’s a crazy world ! Great job Joe, the slideshow is extra special !
Very nice presentation!! This must have taken a while to do, do you ever sleep or what?
It wasn’t THAT much work — I just used every cheesy preset in Keynote (Apple’s version of PowerPoint). 🙂
Hey Joe, thanks for selecting my entry. That competition was really fun lol. Do you need my mailing address to send the stompbox?
Are you just gonna blow me off? lol that’s not cool
LOL — thought I wrote you, Zach! Just email me your shipping address: joe(at)joegore.com.
Really? I didn’t get an email for some reason :/ sorry if I’m being annoying lol. I’ll send you my address.
Dude —nothing could be as annoying as your godforsaken guitars! 😉
Naw, I love ’em. You have an amazingly warped graphic sense.
Should have sent real pics of my actual guitars
Probably. 🙂
Frightening, yet somehow I can picture Rick Nielsen playing that winning entry. :what:
