Thanks man! I wish I had time to get something better than cell phone pics,
but I ordered the Jensens weeks ago and they had just shown up.
Also, thanks for your efforts with BOTR! Long live the gear whore! :thu:

And the polls are open for voting! No further entries will be accepted. We will have winners Saturday for the individual categories!

Quite welcome sir. I know it was a small turnout compared to previous years, but it was fun all the same.

I definitely should have put some guitars in the pics of my entries. Didn't realize they were important given the category names... Regardless, those are two great guitars in your entry! :love:

Well you put a billion pics in so I think you will be fine :p

I think your amps will hold up though you don't need to worry about the guitars.

Voting closes tomorrow! If you haven't gotten your votes in for the individual categories, now would be the time to do so. The overall category and poll will launch monday as I won't be near a computer until then. Unless Billy decides to launch it tomorrow if he can. Otherwise overall voting begins monday.
