Build-a-Guitar®
A Rock-Inspired Team Building Experience That Gives Back
Learning to play music can have a very powerful and positive effect on young people. With Build-a-Guitar®, corporate groups have the opportunity to build and donate guitars to young people. As the name suggests, teams are tasked to build high-quality guitars from custom designed kits. The finished guitars are then donated to teens through schools and other youth organizations.

Build-a-Guitar® is a unique charitable team building event where your group collaborates to assemble and donate high-quality electric guitars to music programs in schools and nonprofit organizations. Combining creativity, communication, and a shared mission, this experience strikes all the right chords.
Created and trademarked by Best Corporate Events, Build-a-Guitar® is a feel-good, music-themed CSR experience that engages participants through teamwork and fun challenges—while supporting the next generation of student musicians.
Program Agenda
The event kicks off with a fun musical energizer and an overview from your professional lead facilitator. Teams of 10 compete in interactive games—like Brainstorm or Minute 2 Win It—to earn the components needed to assemble guitars for donation.
Brainstorm is a browser-based group activity that includes photo and video challenges, trivia, and puzzles. Teams earn points through these challenges, which they redeem for guitar parts at the “music store.”
Once all components are collected, teams move into the build phase, assembling guitars with support from periodic inspections to ensure proper functionality. Along the way, each team will also:
- Capture photos and videos of their progress
- Design and decorate a poster that reflects their unique band identity
- Prepare their completed guitars with accessories like a personal amplifier, tuner, strap, picks, and carrying case
The experience often ends with a spontaneous photo session—or even a jam session. When possible, a representative from the benefiting charity or school addresses the group to share the real-world impact of their donation.
