The first round of judging will be based on photographs. We are looking forward to seeing your unique ideas and designs that are fun to look at.

(The winning entry will be displayed at TC Musical Instruments for one month afterwards.)
Entry Requirements
Anyone can apply as long as the work is in line with the purpose of this contest.
It does not necessarily have to be something that you have modified yourself, as long as it is your own idea and modification.
We will introduce your work on our official YouTube channel, so your work must be available for public viewing.
Please note that works that may infringe on the copyrights of others (unauthorized use of copyrighted illustrations, brand logos, etc.) may not be eligible.
caution
The pursuit of sound! is very important, but... We will not be doing that again this time.
Hints for winning a prize
Every guitarist wants to sound good. Modifications to achieve this are important and should be the first factor to consider. However, this contest is a chance for everyone to have fun modifying their guitars! Let everyone see it! Therefore, we regret to inform you that customizations that do not change the appearance of the guitar are not eligible for this contest.
While this is an important element, and customizing a guitar without changing its appearance is also a great way to show your skills, it would be disrespectful if we judged the sound modifications and gave a superior or inferior result.
The concept of this contest is not to compete in modification techniques, but to "enjoy guitars with free ideas! This is the concept of this contest. Even if you just put stickers on your guitar, if you have a great sense of style, you may win the Grand Prix!
Thanks for visiting!
