The Great Guitar Build-Off 2022

[Joe Nation]

The 2022 edition of the Great Guitar Build-Off has just launched today.

 

Anyone planning to enter? I'd love to but I just haven't got the time or space to start another pointless hobby! Maybe next year, if we can find a house to buy with a garage or a decent shed.

Should I move this to Build diaries perhaps?

 

It's a pity they only seem to deal with 6-string guitars as opposed to basses.

[Joe Nation]

Yeah I wasn't sure where to put it, as it's about whole builds but not specifically a build diary. Consensus?

 

As for basses, they've always accepted them AFAIK, and the launch video does refer to "guitar or bass" a lot. No specific bass category, but I don't know if that's a bad thing or not. There's also a new "freestyle" category for acoustics, ukes, banjos, hurdy gurdies, and pretty much anything else with strings, as well as random new inventions and awkward hybrid monsters.

[Silvia Bluejay]

I've moved it, as it still has more to do with Build Diaries than any repairs. I'll be keeping an eye on that website, as a spectator rather than a builder.

Hold my beer and pass that hammer.

Some nice work there. All good ideas to steal 😉

I'm planning on entering but probably with a guitar. Looking at design options this morning.

I may well enter, still have a few ideas cooking. I'll be interested to see if anything sub-6 strings makes the top 5 in either category

[Dom in Dorset]

I've entered, no idea what I'm going to do as yet.
