Just a friendly reminder that we have openings in our upcoming October 7 - 8th classes in Ann Arbor.

Day one is Fretting and you will fret an instrument that you bring under the expert direction of Dave Collins.

Day two is set-up and you will learn to make bone nuts, saddles, learn about setting intonation, compensation, relief, and what a great set-up is.

In a nut shell bring an unfretted, not set-up guitar and leave with a completely fretted and expertly set-up instrument that plays like butter. Our instructor to student ratio is never greater than 1:2.

These classes will be our last for 2016.

To book a seat PM me or give us a call, the number is all over our web site.

Thanks!

Does it have to be unfretted or is there time to pull frets at the class.

Kent

Hi Kent. We like to start after some instruction with leveling the board and our days are very full as is, former students will attest to this. As such we like you to remove the frets first or bring a new build that has not been fretted. We are also happy to talk you through removing the frets with methods that will reduce or eliminate chip-out prior to the class and over the phone or email.

We are also set-up to provide support for our students after the classes and indefinitely into the future for the subject matter that we teach. It's important to us to be there for ya, a safety net if you will.

Good question, any others?
