Luthier’s International introduces our intense four (4) week program.

We’ve heard from several of you that you just can’t take 3 months at once to attend a Luthier program.

Well here is our answer to you.

A scaled down version of our course that will give you a basic foundation to work from. In this program you will build an electric guitar from raw materials, wood. You will learn how to shape a neck (yours) and route a truss rod cavity, do all the body routing and contours as well as everything else that goes in to building a guitar. You will learn basic fretwork, including fretboard slotting, radiusing, nut making, basic wiring, spraying a lacquer finish and much more!

All of the covered work done in this class will give you the basic understanding of guitar repair’s as well. From here you should have the skills to be able to continue on your own to build or repair.

 We supply the necessary tools while you train.

NEXT 4 WEEK PROGRAM STARTS NOV. 1ST
