The acoustic guitar has never been so popular and the ultimate dream of many guitarists is to build their own. There is nothing more satisfying than playing a guitar you have made yourself. And you will be surprised that it needn't be that difficult !


On this site you can find out about my unique Make an acoustic guitar DVD which not only de-mystifies this craft but brings such a project well within the scope of anybody with  just a basic level of woodworking skill. Yes !

How ? Because I use my vast knowledge and first-hand experience as a designer maker, teacher and woodworking author to simplify the making process, the jigs, using readily available tools and materials.

My groundbreaking instructional DVD includes a Skills Test  which you can practice before you build a guitar and refer to throughout. Why ? Because METHOD is the all
important guarantee of success and if you already have a  woodworking background you might have to unlearn some of the methods/habits you have already learned because my approach is about precision, speed and efficiency and that includes using the right tools for the job ! And you will be
surprised at how basic the tools and jigs can be.





You might also wish to combine building a guitar from my DVD with a weekend of private tuition at my studio in Bath. 




Alternatively you may be considering commissioning a highly individual or innovative guitar from me which combines great tone, feel and looks.
