Congratulations to the latest student here at O'Brien Guitars, Ed Miller from Wisconsin came to my workshop last week and built this beautiful concert classical guitar with me. We used beautiful AAA instrument grade materials from Luthiers Mercantile International.  Here is a link to the materials page. As you can see these materials truly are top notch and are what I use when building  high end custom guitars for my demanding customers.
 
 
Here is what Ed had to say about his class.
"Thanks again for all your help and guidance this past week with the classical guitar build as well as your hospitality. I am amazed at how much can get done in such a short period of time with a remarkable end result! The guitar looks great and as you said, it sounds better each day! My wife and children all loved the final picture you took of me holding the guitar. Maybe I'll see you at the 23rd Guild convention next year."  Ed Miller 

Here is what another recent student had to say about my classes. 

"I highly recommend anyone interested in guitar building to take a one-on-one building class with Robbie O’Brien.  I’m confident that not only will you have a fun-once-in-a-lifetime experience,   you will also walk away with an amazing sounding instrument that you will have a personal connection to. Robbie makes the intimidating prospect of building a guitar a fun and rewarding process.  He breaks down guitar making into simple repeatable steps.  He explains and demonstrates each step in the process, and then has the student execute each step so that they can internalize the techniques themselves.   Robbie’s sense of humor puts the student at ease, and his thoughtful coaching gives the student the confidence to execute each of the tasks at hand."
