Guitar building is a bit like playing chess.

Theory.
Wood Selection.
Planning.

Our courses start right from scratch. Before you cut out the outline of your guitar on the band saw, we will provide you with all the necessary theory.
And then we get right to it.

We begin with the body. This gives you a feel for the tools we use before moving on to the neck.

Here, too, we start with a raw piece of wood. Width, thickness, headstock shape – you decide everything according to your own preferences.

Rasping.
Routing.
Sanding.

You will work with the wood in many different ways. Among other things, you will take care of:

Installing the truss rod
Inserting fretboard inlays
Slitting the fret slots
Preparing and seating the frets
Shaping the neck profile
Sealing the surface finish
Winding the pickups
Wiring the electronics
… and much more

Creativity.
Focus.
Slow Living.

Building an instrument is a creative process with countless facets, where everyone quickly discovers their own favorite task.

The almost meditative work with wood naturally helps you leave everyday stress behind and find inner peace.

Little Traditions

Every course is unique. And yet, over the years, a few small traditions have established themselves – such as our midnight oil ritual towards the end of the course. Prepare to be surprised!
