NEW ONLINE COURSE AVAILABLE AT THE LUTHERIE ACADEMY. I am pleased to announce the launch of a brand new course at the Lutherie Academy: Semi hollow body electric guitar with Brazilian luthier, João Cassias. Last year I was in Brazil and filmed this fun course on how to make a semi hollow body guitar. It requires very few tools, jigs and materials and is a fun project that can be completed in a small amount of time. The design is loosely based on an iconic American thin body electric guitar design that offers the warmth of a hollow body and the growl of a solid body. Join in the fun as João shows you all the steps to build your own semi hollow body electric guitar, with added tips and tricks he has learned over his more than 25 year career as a luthier. A material/tool list and detailed plans accompany the course. Building one of these guitars is like eating potato chips. You can’t stop at just one!
The course is on sale at a promotional discount for a limited time. No coupon code needed at checkout. Check out the online course page for more info. Also, see the intro video to the course below. 
João and I filmed a complete How To Build An Archtop Guitar online course several years ago. Be sure and check it out as well.
