Build your own electric guitar
In the electric guitar building course you can build a custom electric guitar exactly according to your ideas. The course lasts a total of 80 hours. Time and course days are arranged individually. Since our guitars are still handmade, you will learn the secrets of making electric guitars and gain experience in using special tools for making instruments. Previous knowledge and manual skills are not prerequisites for the course. Wherever you need help, you will of course receive professional support. After completing the course, you will go home full of joy and satisfaction with your self-made guitar, which contains your creativity and your emotions.

Guitar models:
I do not make copies of commercially available models, but mainly take over the scale lengths and design my own body shape. This way, your individual shaping creates a guitar that is unique. Some ideas and wishes often only come up during the course, but these can of course be implemented. For very complex ideas, an additional work effort will be charged (CHF 30,--/hour).
