Jurgs Cup 4 is underway! Sign ups are encouraged at any point, so grab some merch, enter your build, and join the Guitar Hero Build Edition.
Lee
Kent, UK
Builder blurb
Lee calls this second build The Second Coming: a JC4 entry made for a great cause, built with locking tuners, Walman humbuckers, new skills, and plenty of blood, sweat, and tears.
Issue note
The first wave of completed Jurgs Cup 4 submissions is in: full guitars, finished photos, build stories, and that lovely moment where months of bench decisions finally become something you can hold. We're over the halfway mark, so the next few months should be awesome with tons of builds getting finished.
Just a reminder: 100% of profits from Jurgs Cup merch go straight to the Leukaemia Foundation in Jurgen's name.

guitarsjpcustom
Peterlee, County Durham, UK
Builder blurb
Joe builds from a home workshop in Peterlee and likes reclaimed materials, iconic designs, and a healthy amount of artistic licence. I AM NOBODY is his Paul Weller and The Jam inspired homage to the Rickenbacker 330, with ash, sapele, flamed maple, walnut, handmade details, and a satin vintage finish.
Siltanen Guitars
Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, Canada
Builder blurb
The Siltanen Guitars '65 Superbird is a neck-through take on a 1965 Firebird, combining reverse-Firebird lines with P90s. The centre section is a nine-piece mahogany and walnut laminate, with Honduran mahogany wings, hand-wound Vostok P90s, banjo tuners, and a classic tobacco sunburst satin finish.
Yarde Guitars
Saltash, Cornwall
Builder blurb
Yarde Guitars finished an extended-range eight-string headless build inspired by IV from Sleep Token. The ash body, African wenge neck, inlaid zebrano fretboard, custom-fabricated pickup, multiscale layout, and low-profile controls all stay locked into a deliberately sleek design.
