Guitar Building School Courses & Workshops

Every student who has taken our Guitar Making courses has been enthusiastic about what they've learned. From dentists and lawyers to high school students, the completion of a guitar made by your own hands is an incredibly satisfying accomplishment!

By the end of any four week or longer course, each student will have a full understanding of the process and will have completed their own hand-crafted acoustic guitar that is strung and fully playable. All students who complete a workshop or course receive a completion certificate.

We have facilities available for students who may need a place to live while taking the course. We live in one of the most scenic areas of Nova Scotia, with a breathtaking view of the LaHave River Valley. Please inquire for prices.
