Ibanez is starting a very unique contest. The winner will get a limited edition guitar (more about that later) which only 2 models of it will exist, one model belonging to Steve Vai.
What we have to do is design a JEM. From what I’ve read it must be generally the same as far as hardware and body shape. If your design wins, it will be posted on the front page of the Ibanez website and then Ibanez will make 2 of your design, you receive one.
Here are the official rules:
- May not have been made commercially available, won any other prize/award, or previously submitted to any other contest;
- must be the exclusive original work of the entrant and made for the JEM contest;
- must be in keeping with Ibanez’ image;
- may not be inappropriate, offensive, libelous or defamatory, pornographic, sexually explicit, unlawful or plagiarized, as determined by Hoshino in their sole discretion;
- must not be harassing, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, profane, obscene, excessively violent, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable or offensive in any way, as determined by Hoshino in their sole discretion;
- may not violate or encourage others to violate any applicable law, statute, ordinance or regulation;
- may not defame or invade publicity rights or privacy of any person, living or deceased, or otherwise infringe upon any person’s personal or property rights or any other third party rights;
- may not contain commercial/corporate advertising, including but not limited to corporate logos, brand names, and slogans, other than those relating to Hoshino/Ibanez or Steve Vai;
The official website for the contest is here.
As far as I can tell there isn’t really a limit to how many designs that you can send in. The only thing I was upset to find out was you weren’t allowed to change the body style and they didn’t really want you to do something crazy with the materials.
