I am pleased to announce that my latest online instructional video course is now available via my website.
This course, presented by Kent Everett of Everett Guitars, shows how to design and execute an arm bevel into your guitar building process. The arm bevel is widely appreciated and a great way to increase the appeal of your instruments. 
Originally this course was available in DVD format but is now being offered as an online video course. 



I have also begun filming my next online video instructional course on archtop guitar construction. This course, presented by Brazilian luthier João Cassias of Cassias Guitars,  will show you how to make an archtop guitar from start to finish.  The month of August has been reserved for the filming process and I hope to have the course edited and available by the end of the year or shortly thereafter.  

  

I will be at Copper Mountain, Colorado this weekend for the annual Guitar Town event. This is a weekend of FREE shows by world renowned artists. I also will be giving a presentation on Friday evening at 5:00 about guitar setup and another one on Saturday morning at 9:00 about guitar tone and how it is influenced by the materials and guitar body size and shape. I hope to see you there.  

 I am already taking reservations for my 2017 teaching schedule.  If you can't come to my shop for a building class then my online courses are a very close second to actually being here with me in my shop.  Happy Building!
