Thanks Pablo. It's not hard for me to do but it is a little tedious. Let's keep the category threads just the rigs. Any and all smack talking should be here.

Re: BOTR 2019 Rules and Discussion Thread
I think this is the only year I've ever entered. I think the first year of GAB I entered but since I didn't show that signal was passing through Billy owl'd me. Not sure if that past rule applies this year, as I've seen some of y'alls rigs looking a little disconnected...

Re: BOTR 2019 Rules and Discussion Thread
I’m not too hard on it at this point. Getting my stuff together for BOTR was a little tough to do myself just because I have an almost 5 month old taking up 90% of my time.

Just voted in all this shit!
I think I entered the 1st or 2nd year we did it; entered again this year just for fun.
Really cool to see all this stuff, you guys have some amazing shit stacked up.

Lester’s edges ahead in the Head/Cab thread. Not gonn lie I was getting a little nervous about what I would have to do for a tie. I hadn’t thought that out. Maybe a rap battle?

Close race so far in the overall winners thread. It’s only 10 votes in but Lester and Jer are tied for the top with Pablo right behind them. Gonna be an interesting week to see how this turns out.

Re: BOTR 2019 Rules and Discussion Thread
Wasn't there a rule about limiting the pics to a couple of guitars and not just posting a gear collection pic?
Anyway, I voted for pablo. Those two fiddles and that amp would suit me just fine.
Lots of nice rigs in here. Congrats to the winners!
