This Guitar Restoration course is aimed at students who wish to further develop their skills and knowledge of guitar repairs and guitar construction.
What will I learn?
Course work may vary slightly from outline due to the specifics of the student's instruments.
It would be recommended that by this point students have somewhere/some way to work on instruments at home to speed up the course work.
All work is down to tutor discretion.

- Glue acoustic top and back crack and reinforce
- Glue up broken headstock and repair finish
- Repair instrument top damaged and refit acoustic bridge
- Remove guitar fingerboard and remove truss rod
