Title: Foot Guitar v2 contest. Only 1 month left.... Post by: Dark Angel on August 16, 2007, 01:36:09 PM From www.bumblefoot.com
The Foot Guitar v2 contest will officially end on Sept. 15th, 2007. Immediately after, Vigier and I will begin the process of choosing the winning design, and the winner will be announced on or before Oct. 15th, 2007. I thank everybody for your submissions. Ron Messages from the past year about it so you know what im talking about: Feb 07: Foot Guitar v2 contest continued... Thanks to everyone from me and Vigier, for all your "Foot Guitar v2" submissions. We haven't found the winning design yet, and want to help the process along with a few ideas... Would rather it not look so literally like a human foot, the way the first guitar did. Wouldn't mind going a bit darker, less comical this time around. Can picture something with the look of dark metallic armor, or maybe something with sharper lines and more claw-like. Or maybe something subtle, more of a classic rock vibe. We're *not* looking for a modified version of the first foot guitar - looking for something entirely new. Send your designs to Footguitarv2@vigierguitars.com - contest is open-ended, we're continuing until we find the winning design. When we find it, we'll announce it at www.bumblefoot.com - Vigier will build one guitar for the designer, and another for me. Appreciate the efforts of those who took time to design something, and those who will be submitting designs - thank you! Ron Thal Sep. 06: So, the ol' "Foot Guitar" suffered some damage during the European GnR tour - busted wood, damaged wings... I spoke to the good folks at Vigier Guitars ( www.vigierguitars.com ) and we've decided it's time to create the "Foot Guitar version 2.0" - something new, something cool, something designed by YOU! If you'd like to be the designer of the Foot Guitar v2, send your designs, drawings, photos, ideas to Footguitarv2@vigierguitars.com. Patrice Vigier and I will choose the guitar's design from all submissions, and the guitar will be unveiled in 2007. Two of the guitars will be made - one for me, one for the designer. But maybe, if the guitar is really cool, it'll go into production, made available to all... Looking forward to seeing what y'all come up with! BfoOt Title: Re: Foot Guitar v2 contest.

Glad to hear it'll finally end, hopefully Ron has some excellent choices to choose from. Title: Re: Foot Guitar v2 contest. Only 1 month left.... Post by: FunkyMonkey on August 16, 2007, 07:59:39 PM I wonder how many submissions he has received? I hope they don't just show the winner...I would like to see some of the designs that didn't make the cut. : ok:

Post by: djcleaver on August 17, 2007, 06:10:38 PM I talked to Ron about this topic in Osaka. He said he'd gotten alot of cool designs but that there was definately room for more entries. As far as what form submissions should be in, I cant say. When I asked for myself, he said, I'd take it on a napkin if it's good enough. Title: Re: Foot Guitar v2 contest. Only 1 month left....
