Guitar Building Workshop Praise
I highly recommend this workshop. Jay is such a good-natured guy that he makes the workshop very enjoyable. I was amazed with the quality of the guitar we were able to take home. – Ron Robbins, NC
I’ve been dreaming about making my own guitar for 28 years, since I was 14. This week was all I could have wanted after all those years of dreaming. It’s hard to believe we did the work ourselves and the guitars have come out this finished and incredible sounding. – Greg Paravis, NC
Jay makes a fine guitar and a great teacher of his craft. I had previously built 6 guitars on my own and my techniques and knowledge have now been greatly expanded. – Mitch Keown
I learned all of the necessary information on how to build a nice guitar! I gained a lot of confidence in guitar building and learned some great techniques and tricks of the trade. All of the guitars turned out beautifully. Thank you Jay! – Steven Ceola

This workshop was the best money I’ve spent in a long time. I’ve received tons of knowledge from an experienced lutheir and built a beautiful guitar as a bonus. The class was very relaxed and covered every aspect of acoustic guitar building. I want to thank Jay for his help throughout and fro offering such a worthwhile class. – Tyler Hunter, small group workshop participant
