Nominate the May 2015 GOTM

[Queequeg]

Use this thread to nominate your choice for Guitar of The Month picture. Post the picture in this thread.

The nominations will be  according to the following rules:

1. If a member's Larrivee instrument has been GOTM previously, it can not be GOTM again
   Forum>Misc>Pictures>The Hall of Fame, previous Guitar of The Month pictures (2007-2012 Archives)

2. If a member has had a GOTM in the last 3 months, another picture from that member can't be nominated again.

3. Nominations must be pictures of Larrivee made instruments (guitars, ukes, mandos, etc) owned by a member and posted by members on this forum.

4. Nominations will be in a sticky thread in the Pictures section started by one of the mods each month. By about the 20th of the month a Vote thread will be started (each month) so that members can pick the next GOTM from the nominations.

5. Nominations will be closed each month by a mod after 6 nominations have been received.

6. One picture of each nominated instrument only, please.  

7. Only one instrument owned by the same person, and only one nomination per person please.  

8. This thread is about nominating the GOTM. if you wish to post a bunch of pictures of your guitar, better to start your own thread [in Pictures].

9. A member may nominate his/her own guitar, or an instrument belonging to another member.  

    That's it. There is no 10. Take the rest of the day off.

OK !  Since the April GOTM is an incomplete, un-assembled guitar, let's take it a step further.   Here is  my L-10.   I've taken it apart digitally and re-assembled it in a totally different fashion.

I'll bet Pat Metheny could play that.

Pat Metheny    Hilarious!

I love the abstract, but I'll offer up Koamon's OOV-03.  I try to not obsess, but the one I had might just be one of those "ones that got away".

Let's vote now--how can you not vote for these adorable babies along with a Larrivee    I am sure this picture would make the Larrivee Facebook page too.

What is written in the middle of the guitar?

What is written in the middle of the guitar?

"Anna Daniels" the photographer's name is superimposed over the image.

[Danny]

So, this is a professional,picture?  Would the name appear on the forum homepage if the picture wins? IOW, would this be an advertisement for Anna Daniels photography?  Just curious.

I remember when my Forum IV won GOTM and right there on the table saw in large letters was RIDGID. No one was bothered by that.
    But your point is a valid one, maybe brandon can supply a picture without the name of the photographer.

If Ms Daniels has watermarked her photo she may need to give permission for her photo to be used.  If this photo is the winner, Brandon might want to get her ok. just to avoid a copyright issue,

I am sure the reference to the photographer could be moved to a lower corner?  This is too cute not to win 

[Queequeg]

I believe that Brandon said he was purchasing some of the photos.
This needs to be resolved before voting.
Otherwise it can be nominated in a future month GOTM when he owns it and/or the rights to it.

[Queequeg]

Folks, we'll be taking this to a vote real soon.
Last call for nominations.
And thus far, I  haven't seen a submission from Brandon and his OMV-50 with the cute little kids, sans the photographer's watermark, so unless that happens by closing time, it will be disqualified.

How about my OM-03 MH Deluxe?

Also, as a newbie, here are my mandatory donuts for the group...
