Every guitarist dreams of designing their own guitar, but not everyone may have the budget to make it happen. Now you have the chance to get that ultimate axe courtesy of Guitar World magazine and their first-ever guitar design contest. Guitar World and guitar-makers Fender Musical Instrument Corporation are not only offering the chance to design a guitar, but also to have it judged by three true hard rock iconsBlack Sabbath's Tony Iommi (#1 on GW's list of the Greatest Metal Guitarists), Aerosmith's Joe Perry, and Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello.
You don't even have to be able to draw. Scrawl your design on a cocktail napkin or print it out with the most advanced CAD software. One winning design will be built to spec by the Fender Custom Shop.
Some of the entries will appear in Guitar World during the next several months. The winner will be announced in the October 2004 issue, with the winning entry appearing in the magazine in January 2005.
Submit your entry by August 1, 2004 to:
Guitar Design Contest, c/o Guitar World, 149 Fifth Avenue, 9th Floor, New York, NY 10010.
Entries will not be returned. See the July 2004 issue for more details.
