Guitar Making Course
You have found the best Guitar Making course in Adelaide. Whether it's your first guitar or you have made a few already, this course is perfect for you. Build a guitar of your choice from quality timbers and kits at the W&S workshop. Shop online, then collect your materials when you arrive for your first session.
Students attend a three-hour weekly class until their instrument is finished. Classes are held in a specialised instrument making workshop and are taught and supervised by Michael Snowden. 6 to 30 weekly sessions are typical and the maximum class size is 6 students. The time taken to complete a guitar making course depends on several dynamics including: the kit you use, the existing woodworking skills of the student, their preferred pace of working and the intricacy of the instrument that they choose to build.
Many of the current students never finish! They will begin a new guitar once they complete their current instrument.
