All the judges enthusiastically checked the works. Everyone seemed to be having a lot of fun, but their eyes were very serious as they looked at the works.
As expected from everyone who works with musical instruments, every detail was carefully checked. A lively judging session took place in a fun atmosphere.
There were many excellent entries and the judging was fierce. The judging session has finally ended, but everyone's discussion of modified guitars is far from over. .
Afterwards, we moved to another location and the guitar discussion continued until late at night. We are truly a group of guitar lovers. Thanks to you, it was a fun and enjoyable judging session. The grand prize winner will be determined by the results of this judging committee and the votes of everyone who votes at the store.

After completing the examination
The most common comments we received from the sponsoring judges for this contest were ``I was impressed'' and ``I'm glad I was able to sponsor the event.'' We are confident that the thoughts and feelings put into each of the entries were clearly conveyed. Since they are all involved in the musical instrument industry, including designing and manufacturing musical instruments, as well as distribution and publishing, I think we were able to share the excitement of the amount of effort and hardship that went into creating this work. I think the fact that there are so many people passionate about musical instruments has served as a good stimulus for the musical instrument industry. It was impressive to see that everyone who participated in the judging looked so happy as they touched the works.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the companies that sponsored this project, the many people who applied, everyone who voted in stores, and everyone who supported us online.

Pursuit of sound! It's very important, but I'll let you see it off again this time m(-_-)m
If you're a guitarist, it's natural to be concerned about the sound. Therefore, replacing pickups, wiring materials, capacitors, etc. is a very effective customization method. This is probably the first factor to consider when modifying a guitar. but! This time, let's modify the guitar and have fun together! Let everyone see it at the instrument fair! Since this is a contest with the same purpose, unfortunately, customizations that do not result in any visible changes will not be considered. This is a very important element, and customizing without changing the appearance is also a great opportunity to show off your skills! However, I think it would be rude to judge sound modifications and give them a rating, so please understand.
Let's enjoy the guitar! is the concept. Even if you just put a sticker on it, if you have great taste, there is a possibility of winning the grand prize!
