BUILDING AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR
This will be the last guitar class taught by Scott Dixon, so if you have wanted to take this class, this will be your last chance to do so.
Many of those who have played or even admired the beauty of the guitar have shown interest in someday making an heirloom instrument that can be played for generations. This class is designed to take a intermediate woodworker through the steps to make a steel string acoustic guitar from a unique kit. This is an intensive class, that requires periods of strength and stamina.
You will learn the terminology and the techniques focused on many of the specialized processes to complete your own personalized instrument. The process is broken down into small steps to familiarize the student with the construction of the neck including truss rod installation, fingerboard & fretting, abalone inlay and construction of the body including brace trimming/fitting, top installation, bridge gluing/alignment, purfling and final fit up of the neck to body joint using a bolt-on system.
The guitar kit consists of sapele back and sides with a spruce front and each guitar will be completed leaving the final top coat finish up to the student. Be sure to visit the store to see and play a finished guitar.

About Scott:
Scott studied with Tom Knatt from Concord, MA and took that experience to become a consultant for U.S. Guitar Kits. With over thirty years playing guitar and many years involved in woodworking, it just made sense to put the two skills together. He has been instrumental in the development of the kits, tool selection and teaching program for stores around the country.
