Got a better comparison, something like walmart or target would be allowed?

As long as you aren't getting hand-selected hardwoods from a lumberyard, or something, I think you'll be fine. They don't sound so much like rules as they do guidelines.

Thank you.
Yeah I think the idea is the materials must come from someplace readily available to the average Joe. RadioShack I would think would apply as well.

I think the people that are "running" this just need to make an executive decision so we can get this nailed down. I feel like most people get the essence of what this is about but are debating really subjective elements.

Hold your horses kids. I'll get things squared away soon enough.

All I'll add is that it would be neat to have a sub-section added for the competition in the luthiery forum, like they do in TDPRI's build competitions.

No worries. The conversation just kinda died, so I was wondering.
The mods are going to be the ones administering things. Keep your eyes peeled for an official thread when they have everything nailed down.

I had a slow day at work, so I started sketching. This will be a great summer project, I can't wait to get started!

Well, I'm out. Seems like I'll be out of the country for a good while. Anywho, I'll share the idea I was working on.
It was going to be a headless fanned 5 stringer. The tricky part was making good tuners out of home depot stuff, and this is what I came up with.
Use a door bolt for each string!
The strings would either be tied around the little knob thing, or I'd solder a hook or something. To tune it, the bolt would have a screw running lengthwise which would be secured to another piece behind the bolt. Tightening the screw would pull the bolt backwards towards the other piece and viceversa.
