Re: Fletcher Handcrafted Guitars five-day course
Why not sign up for a community shed and use the tools there and learn how to build guitars? Electrics are pretty straight forward.

I would imagine it is much like brewing beer though. Making good beer is easy, once you've learned a few of the tricks, but until you've learned them you'll make a lot of average beer.
There's a couple of guys at work who made great beer straight away, because I taught them the tricks first.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

I learned a lot from Fletcher's videos. Especially the refinishing ones. Think I'd enjoy doing that course. Maybe that's something for next year.

I did Paddy's course. I learned heaps and ended up with a good instrument. Would recommend!

This course has been going for quite some time, but Goldbeard has just taken it over. Seems to be based on the course that Paddy offers in Wellington.Jehu wrote:The Centre for Fine Woodworking in Nelson is also putting together a course for next year... run by the guy from Goldbeard guitars (no experience).

I've done a few builds with Trevor.
He's a close friend.
I would recommend him any day
