Attention home guitar builders! We’ve teamed up with renowned lutherie tool and parts supplier StewMac to launch our first ever competition to find Britain’s best amateur guitar builder. To make it worth your while, StewMac has put up a fantastic prize of £370* worth of professional lutherie supplies for the overall winner and one runner-up prize worth £185*. So, as well as the glory of winning, you’ll take home pro-grade tools and materials to help you build your next creation.
For this inaugural competition we’ll be inviting entries for original electric guitar designs, either solid-body or semi-acoustic. So, what do you have to do? Simply go to the web address below to enter. You’ll be asked to submit a single, good-quality image of your creation, as well as a short but detailed description of the guitar you built, describing its spec and standout features. We’re particularly looking for evidence of a skilled, original build and outstanding attention to detail – so if you poured heart and soul into your creation, let us know all about it!
Please note that, regretfully, partscaster builds are not eligible – and while it’s fine for your entry to be influenced by well-known designs, we won’t be accepting clones of famous models by major makers. In other words, it’s time to let your creativity and originality shine through… As this is a competition for British amateur guitar builders we regretfully cannot accept submissions from professional guitar makers or overseas makers, either – though we may open up the field in future competitions if there is sufficient interest.
