Acoustic Guitar from Scratch!
1077 Bethel Rd.
Columbus , Ohio, United States
We are excited to announce we have made the decision on expanding our class schedule to include a BUILD FROM SCRATCH ACOUSTIC GUITAR CLASS under the tutelage of our Master Luthier, Passang Bhote, pictured above. This is not a kit guitar! Over the next few weeks he will be making a display guitar, that can also be played, with a see thru back so you can view what goes into making one. A Dreadnought Guitar with a bolt on neck will be the type of guitar made during the class and no, that is not an acoustic guitar in the picture! Sign up by calling 614-273-0488.
Classes around us, to do this type of instruction, typically range from $3,950 all the way to $7,500 plus the cost of wood. While this is a class to make a guitar, it shouldnt be construed as a Luthier learning type of class and as such, the cost will be lower. However, this is NOT a beginning woodworker type of class so please have some experience with hand and power tools and you are going to do the work to build your guitar. The finish will need to be applied at home.
You will be building a guitar from wood species you choose, with Passangs help and advice. The wood cost will be extra and based upon what you choose, as some woods are more expensive than others. You will work with Passang to decide those wood species prior to the class. The class will run 9 AM to 5 PM each day for seven (7) days. The cost to take the class for will be $2,500 plus the cost of the wood you choose. We hope this class in the future will run every three months. It is limited to two students!
Stop in and talk to Passang Bhote who is usually here most weekdays and ask any questions you may have. A deposit of $1,250 will be required at the sign-up for the class. Remember, you really need to be, at a minimum, an intermediate woodworker with both hand and power tool experience. The class is not in the system yet, but hopefully by Monday to allow your sign-up. Anyone who has taken a class from Passang will echo my praise for him as an instructor.
