For many years David have offered guitar making tuition from his own workshop for players who wish to make there own guitar or for those who wish to pursue guitar making as a full time profession. For many people making their own guitar is a long held ambition, an opportunity to learn about the woods and construction methods resulting in a unique and personal instrument that the player knows intimately. This can give a completely new dimension to a players’ relationship with their guitar.
