Robbie O'Brien (Web site..)

Robbie has put together a series of pictures that will allow you to take a look at a guitar under construction and get an idea of the steps involved in making a fine handmade classical or steel string guitar. You will also be able to see some of the models he builds. Also, be sure to check out the instructional DVD's on guitar building. These DVD's will show you, step by step with pictures and audio, how to build your own classical or steel string guitar.

He also has some shots of a beautiful commissioned Brazilian Rosewood guitar under construction.

The Totnes School Of Guitarmaking (Web site..)

Three times a year, the Totnes School of Guitarmaking runs a 12-week course for up to seven people. Each of them has chosen what kind of guitar they want to make, and leaves at the end with the finished instrument. Beautiful work and fine craftsmanship are regularly achieved.

Beginners and advanced students work in one group. Some beginners have no previous woodworking experience at all. Even so, they can make almost any kind of guitar or related instrument. All students on a course share the goal of finishing their instrument by the end of the 12 weeks. www.totnesschoolofguitarmaking.co.uk
