Alright! So I am very excited to say that I have the opportunity to hone in some skills here at the Roberto-Venn | School of Luthiery | Guitar Making & Repair
It's been quite an adjustment going from the Alaskan wilderness to the arid Arizona desert. Despite the heat, my experience here so far has been great! The third week of school has just wrapped up.
The school itself has been top notch. The information given and workflow has been set up to give you a thorough understanding of guitar construction and wood choice. Even though I have learned a great deal through online research into Luthiery, Roberto-Venn is proving to shed a great deal of light into a lot of technical aspects of guitar making and repair.
The aim of this thread is to document the builds and hopefully give everyone a good idea of what they could expect out of luthiers school. Onto the pics![Headbang :hbang: :hbang:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hbang2.gif)
Tool seminar "Tele" body build
Design ideas..
Acoustic fret board, neck and tail block
El Norteno's carne asada cheese crisp
Sitka spruce top acoustic
Hardware options... I'm going with a Kahler Trem.
