About the Guitar Courses
Guitar Tech Courses run instructor led Guitar courses for students wishing to build their own guitar or learn how to setup a guitar (Pro Setup) for the first time or take their skills to the next level. The guitar courses are taught by Luthier James Collins. James has decided to keep groups on the build your own guitar courses down to three at present.
