Acoustic Guitar Building Workshop at Tryon Arts and Crafts
Updated Post: See the final days of the workshop and the completed instruments
__________
Coming up soon … Jay will be teaching a small group acoustic guitar building workshop at Tryon Arts and Crafts. Held for ten consecutive days from April 19th to April 29th, 2012 four participants will each build a guitar from start to finish.
Jay built his first guitar under the guidance of renowned Virginia luthier Wayne Henderson while attending a workshop conducted at Tryon Arts and Crafts. He has been a full-time luthier since that time and has built over fifty guitars and thirty ukuleles in the Tryon, NC Lichty Guitars’ shop. While Jay teaches one-on-one workshops here at the shop, he’ll be coming back to Tryon Arts and Crafts as teacher rather than student for the small group acoustic guitar building workshop in April, 2012.
Over the course of ten days Jay will instruct participants as they work through the process of building their own traditional-style dreadnought guitar. They will begin with boards of mahogany and spruce and end with strings on and tunes being played.
Workshop Details:
▪ Participation for this workshop is limited to four students.
