Beginning Electric Guitars- Build a Telecaster with Ryan Welcome

In this new class we jump into the world of electric guitar construction. Beginning with this new project students will each build their own guitar based on the world famous Fender Telecaster (yeah- that's the one Bruce Springsteen plays!).

Starting with a solid white ash body we will bandsaw and rout the basic shape, fit and fine tune the maple neck (we will purchase pre-made necks for this beginning class), fine tune the rosewood fingerboard and install all the hardware, electronics and both pickups. Finishing is an important part of any guitar so we will also spend a few nights of class time applying your choice of three different finishes (clear, "butter" or cherry). The last night of the class will be final setup & tuning of the guitars and then a jam session to prove how good they are! Sign up today for this exciting new class and have the satisfaction of building (and playing) your own heirloom quality instrument. Tuition $345.00 plus materials.
