Here is what others are saying about the course.
"This is a great course. Not only does Trevor show in all details how to make, apply and shape the falcate braces, but you get a lot of other info along the way, like thicknessing the top and back with the help of measuring the long grain, cross grain and "twist" Young's modulus as well as the density of the wood. It's apparent that Trevor has done this plenty of times - and there is no better source for this out there as he is the original inventor and master of falcate bracing! Highly recommended - and thanks to Robbie for making it available!"

"Wow, this is helpful! I already have the Design / Build Books and previously, I have made three Falcate braced guitars. However, having the video course instructions has significantly helped to better understand the correct construction methods and improve my guitar building skills. The video course is excellent value for money and demonstrates the best practical ways to build a Falcate braced guitar." Wayne in Australia
"I’ve been waiting with bated breath for the release of this course, and jumped on it as soon as you sent the email out." Ian in Canada
"I watched a bunch of the course. It was very informative on how he addressed some of the harder build steps. The is a great addition to his build book." John in Washington
"As with all your courses. Best bang for the buck even if it were 5 times the price." Anthony
