The entire program is growing quickly. As of Fall semester 2007/8 we will have Steel String, Classical, Electrical, Mandolin, and Violin building classes

The core classes for our Lutherie Program will continue to be the Steel String & Classical Guitar classes. In that class the begins with a box of wood (ordering info).  

During the class, Robbie illustrates several techniques through short lectures, and demos. The demo process follows the student as Robbie constructs a guitar right along with the student.

When the student leaves, he or she should be walking out with a guitar they constructed. Be warned though, that this is an intense class.
