Guitar Building Jigs & Fixtures Part 1 with John Ressler May 15-16, 2021

The Guitar Building Methods class is a unique opportunity to build your own guitar building jigs and fixtures. After completing the fixtures, students will use them to make actual guitar parts. This class provides a rare opportunity to learn lutherie methods that are typically only learned through a hard-to-come-by luthier apprenticeship. Guitar Building Methods 1 will focus on jigs and fixtures for building an acoustic guitar body. Students will make their own side bending machine, a side bending form, a radius sanding bowl, a guitar building form (shape of your choice), and a plate joining fixture. John will demonstrate all the jigs and fixtures.
