Experience the magic of creating your own guitar.
Welcome to the Brisbane Guitar Making School
Building your own guitar by hand is food for the soul – an incredibly rewarding experience. Regardless of woodworking or playing ability, you can make your own guitar from scratch in our purpose-built and fully equipped workshop.
No experience required! Expert guidance and small class size ensure you will get the attention you require. We have experienced instructors that guide you step by step through the entire build process. Each step takes you not only towards your completed instrument but also builds your knowledge and woodworking skills. Our classes have a welcoming, encouraging and very friendly culture.
