Lutherie Academy by O'Brien Guitars
The Lutherie Academy is well known for providing high quality instructional video courses on all things lutherie. Whether you want to sharpen your skills in a particular job or learn something completely new, Robbie O’Brien’s Lutherie Academy is a great place to start.
On the ‘whole new field’ side of things, you can learn to build an archtop, acoustic, or classical guitar from scratch. If you’re looking to dig deep on particular techniques, there’s a heap of those covered too (I can recommend Michael Bashkin’s fretting course). And there’s a lot more besides.
The Lutherie Academy has very kindly given Looth Group members a discount code for 10% off any course. Just go to the link above, pick your course, and enter LOOTHGROUP at checkout.
Thanks to Robbie and the Lutherie Academy.
