Unfortunately we won’t be teaching restoration of guitars in this class but please try StewMac’s database to find something he might be looking for – http://www.stewmac.com/How-To/Online_Resources/Reference/Lutherie_Schools_List.html
My husband would like to learn how to refurb/restore guitars and has an old guitar body that he’d like to use as a project guitar. Would the Partscaster Building Workshop be a good fit for that purpose? If not, is there another class you can recommend for beginners to learn something like that?
Hi Peter,
Unfortunately, we are really slammed with work right now and Geoff doesn’t have the time to take an apprenticeship. We recommend doing a search online to check out lutherie schools; there’s a good resource here on StewMac: http://www.stewmac.com/How-To/Online_Resources/Reference/Lutherie_Schools_List.html
Best of luck!
Hey Leah,
We have a list of teachers in the Bay Area; I’ll e-mail that over to you now!
Thanks. 🙂
Do you guys do internships or apprenticeships at all?
Hello! I’m a fiddler looking for beginning mandolin lessons. Do you know of any teachers?
Thanks,
Leah
Yes, certainly! Please call the shop directly to purchase a gift certificate over the phone (415) 865-5424. Please note that we do not sell instruments in the shop, we mainly just do repairs. Thanks!
Hello,
I have a brother-in-law in SF and he is way into guitars. Do you have a gift certificate, or something like that, that I could offer him for Christmas? Let me know, thanks!
Best,
Will
