1 on 1 Guitar Building Classes

If you’ve ever had the idea of building your own guitar, but didn’t feel you had the space, equipment, or knowhow then I have some good news! JKM Guitars will begin running private 1 on 1 guitar building classes to help you build the instrument of your dreams!

These classes will be held in the workshop in Dromore, County Down, and will allow you to learn and construct every element of you instrument, from wood selection to stringing it up.

The classes will be entirely solo, so you will have the undivided attention of the teacher, Jacob Menear, who has been making instruments since 2008 and who has clients from all over the world.

The class will start with finding out what sort of instrument you want to build via phone call, facetime or workshop visit. All of the details can then be decided, such as type of instrument, materials and any other custom details.

Once the materials have been chosen and paid for, along with the first set of lessons, then the guitar building can begin!

The lessons can either be done in 3 hour sessions once per week, or in full day (7 hour) sessions. These sessions can also be used by more confident makers that want to improve a certain element of your building knowledge, such as bindings, fretwork, set up etc.

Once the instrument has been completed, not only will you have the great satisfaction of knowing you built an instrument you can be proud of, but you will also a new wealth of knowledge in many areas of woodworking and instrument building.

You will have access to a fully stocked workshop, with a large range of hand tools, specialist equipment, some larger machines and a Shaper Origin CNC.

No wood working experience is necessary, so all levels of skill will be able to make an instrument to enjoy!

To book your classes, just send a message through the contacts page, or call to discuss your new guitar.
