The latest students to come and build their guitars with me were a retired F-16 pilot and a retired helicopter pilot. Lot's of stories were told as we built these guitars in two separate and private one on one classes in my shop. This is one of the cool things about what I do. I get to meet a lot of very interesting people and build guitars with them.  Congratulations to Mark from Colorado and Darryl from Florida for building a couple of great sounding guitars!   
 
 
The promo offer on my latest online courses has ended: Setup and Repair with luthier Greg Maxwell and Repair and Restoration with Robert O'Brien. However,  you might not know that some of the chapters can be purchased individually.  These include: Acoustic, Classical or Electric guitar setup, how to make a new nut and saddle for classical or steel string guitars, fixing intonation, Floyd Rose floating tremolo setup, soldering techniques, pickup installation and much more! There is something for everyone, from the simple setup all the way to complete restorations.  
Doing repair work requires a different skill set than building an instrument. That is why Greg and I have put together these courses that specifically address the skills needed to do quality repair and restoration work. 
Happy Building!
