If you didn’t know our great friend Jurgen Zoller @iamjurgs passed away on the the 3rd of April 2023. With the blessing of his family we are going to honour him with a build challenge each year, The Jurgs Cup. Dates- Starts 24th April 2023. Ends 23rd April 2024, each year these will be the start and end dates Entry- Donation to either the leukaemia foundation(which is his family’s chosen charity) a local leukaemia charity or buy a Jurgs T-Shirt from our teespring store which the proceeds will go to the leukaemia foundation. Donation is preferred but if you just want to build along that’s fine It’s up to you what you do with the finished guitar, if you want to keep it that’s fine, if you want to sell it or auction it off for charity, totally up to you Post progress- post photos on Instagram or our website www.guitarbuilderscollective.com Out of respect to Jurgen he will be the 2023 champion Theme- this year will be use what you have on hand. We chose this theme because this is the way most of the original gbc guys came into contact with Jurgen If you don’t have anything local DIY/hardware store for the timber or even a kit guitar if you don’t have access to all the tools you need We encourage you to use the following tags #iamjurgs #gbc #guitarbuilderscollective and make sure you tag our account @guitarbuilderscollective and we will share your post as a story guaranteed This will be an annual build series, we chose a year time frame because we know people will want to compete in the ggbo, we also get that people have day jobs and families If you know of anyone who would like to join please tell them about it, this is a chance to grow a friendly supportive community, it’s not a serious build off And lastly please remember this is to honour one of the nicest guys we have met, Jurgs was always complimentary to everyone he came across guitarbuilderscollective.com/s/gbc-2023-jurgen-zoller-honorary-challenge/

Thanks for continuing to share information about Jurgs and the Jurgs Cup.

This was a brilliant idea. These are gonna be fun and helpful. AND bring attention to the GBC Chat.

theres no better feeling than when the guitar transitions from a woodworking project on a bench, to a guitar stand inside

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year... keep on building guitars! 🎅🎄🎁🤘🎸

Scared the crap out of me when I turned up :) Ha ha. These highlight reels are a great idea.

Merry Christmas guys!!🎄🎄🎄
