Guitar builders?

[Kyle Stapleton]

Hello,
My name is Kyle Stapleton and I am a Tech Ed teacher in River Falls, WI.

I am looking for some who makes guitars and would be willing to do a workshop/class to teach me how to make guitars (the right way, I have all the files and have cut all the parts)

I just need someone to walk me through all the steps and show me where I or my students could/will mess up.

This would be a paid job.

Thank you,
Kyle

I hope you can find a resource. In the meantime...you might spend a bit of time browsing and participating in the TDPRI forum's "Tele Home Depot" discussion area. There's a ton of expertise and it's a very nice community. While the overall site is Telecaster focused, the specific area I mention runs the gamut. But for you and your students I actually recommend you start with the Fender geometry because the neck and body are coplanar which makes learning and setup a whole lot easier than more complicated designs that require a few degrees of angle between the neck and the body.

I have done all the online work, just one clean build with someone of knows what they are doing.

Part making and assembly are not a problem, I just need to know the little things.

It sounds like you need a local luthier

[Jim Becker]

The site I pointed you to will likely help you find someone local to you that is an experienced guitar builder/luther. They do not need to be CNC experienced since it sounds like you need instrument refining and setup schooling. The CNC only replaces some of the "grunt work" for shaping in general...everything else is the same as building with non-CNC techniques.
