Honorable mentions
We can’t really end it here without a few honorable mentions: our Jury had a super-hard time to cast the votes, as entries were all great: this meant that a few entries lost the podium by a minute amount of points. It feels right to share a few them here, to give you a glimpse on all the amazing work that has been done during this exciting #DIYKitChallenge22.

Alan J Ordoñez says:
How can people from southeast asia participate? The shipping cost from Europe is too expensive.
Reinald says:
Is there any obligation to use all parts of the kit? How many components might be replaced for higher quality or different sound or different style? Just as a wild example: would it be ok, to use a Ukulele kit, but replace the body with a solidbody-design to build an electric Ukulele that just uses the neck and tuners and strings?
Sepp says:
A są zestawy dla leworęcznych?
Randy Reeves says:
Is the JA kit not allowed in the contest? It is a very similar kit sold by Thomman beside these. A friend and I just purchased (today) 2 JA kits specifically for this contest. I have just now encountered the list of applicable kits. Do I need to cancel the order and change kits?
Vladimir says:
It says “YES style” is allowed, that’s the JA style guitar. Maybe it’s a joke or a translation mistake because “ja” means “yes” in German. 🙂
Emily k says:
Hi I want to win guitar please
Alber says:
Hola, hay unidades para zurdos?
Drubert McQbert says:
Why is the shipping so expensive?
Jortsa says:
Do you have to use only parts that comes with the kit, or can you use your own?
Kenneth says:
Would like to know more about other instruments.
Luca Serra says:
Wow. Very Good
Jacob franck says:
Ou poster la photo de la guitare réaliser
Jeff says:
I have completed two kits, the P bass and the jazzmaster style. Can I submit videos of them?
Harvey says:
My video was submitted 10 minutes after the deadline, I have a slow upload speed and YouTube also now takes time to scan videos for copyright :/
Will my submission be taken into account?
How would I know?
