Classes                                  AMERICAN SCHOOL OF LUTHERIE

In an effort to balance the demands of lutherie training and full time guitar making, my teaching is currently limited to a few classes, offered periodically throughout the year. Classes are set in my own workplace and limited to a small number of students.

CONTEMPORARY GUITAR MAKING is a comprehensive overview of the entire field of modern lutherie. This unique five day seminar will have a lasting impact on the depth and breadth of your understanding as you build guitars, whether you're an experienced luthier or just beginning.

HANDS-ON GUITAR MAKING teaches professional methods and techniques used by today's successful luthiers. Spend two high-energy weeks learning the craft as you build your own guitar in a setting designed to maximize both your learning and the quality of your work.

SMALL SHOP PRODUCTION shows how to increase your output by adapting the most useful jigs, fixtures, dedicated work stations and other versatile, easily made devices, along with professional workflow concepts, to your own guitar making situation and intentions.

ADVANCED DESIGN FEATURES is a five day in-depth study of the double tops, beveled arm-rests, compound cutaways, adjustable necks, sound ports, and other popular new design features found on today's high-end hand-made guitars. Learn to understand and incorporate these features when you build your next guitar.
