What we build

We offer a number of build options depending on your interests and preferences. The Little Wing travel guitar offers a quicker and cheaper introduction to guitar making, while the Select Series aims to provide a full sized guitar at a fixed price by streamlining the build with pre-selected materials. Custom builds are for those who know what they want or want the freedom to choose the materials, the style, or design and add artistic features of their own.

“Andrew was always a patient and friendly teacher, and everyone that goes to the school is lovely and always down for a chat. I would recommend the school to anyone who has an interest in guitars, or even just woodwork. The skills I learnt while building my guitar are definitely transferable to other projects and I loved every part of the experience.”
