My Goals With Guitar-Making Workshops

As a teacher of luthiery, my goal is to give my students the skills they need to confidently work on stringed instruments successfully. I feel luthiery is part fundamental skills and part art. Having strong fundamental skills (sanding, chisel work, etc.) allows the art to flow. I enjoy building fine instruments and successful luthiers!

As a luthier, with over 25 years of experience, my goal is to continually hone my techniques and art through teaching. Sometimes this process of teaching-learning leads to inspiration to build or improve jigs or processes. 

If you would like to schedule a workshop or have questions, please call or email. Workshops for those not local to Albuquerque can easily be done over Zoom.
