REVIEWS
"I built a D-18 style guitar and was so happy with it I went back and built a J-45 style guitar a couple of years later. I have been playing for over 20 years and have owned/do own a number high-end guitars. The guitars I built get most of the play time now. If you have ever considered building your own guitar, you really owe it to yourself to check out this class. ~ Lucian Tender
"Ken guided me through the build of an OM model with a cutaway. The learning experience was everything I hoped for and the finished guitar is just what I was looking for. It’s a beauty. Ken is an excellent instructor, both in knowledge and patience. All told, a great learning experience that left me with useful knowledge and a beautiful instrument!" ~ Robert Monroe
"Ken is a knowledgeable and patient instructor. He ensured that each of the us was successful in each part of the build and that we all left the class with a guitar we were proud of. I have very little woodworking experience, but with Ken's guidance and instruction I was able to build a top quality guitar. Everyone that has seen it has been amazed that we were able to build this guitar in a week. If you are interested in building your own I would definitely recommend getting in touch with Ken." ~ Terry Page
