The Main Event

If you’ve ever looked at your guitar and thought, one day I’ll build my own, this is that day. The Build Your Own Guitar – 6 Day Course is the ultimate hands-on experience for anyone who loves guitars, whether you’re a gigging musician, weekend player, or total beginner with a big dream.

Over six immersive days, you’ll create your very own electric guitar, completely from scratch. No prior skills? No problem. You’ll learn everything from shaping the body and neck to fretwork, wiring, sanding, and setting it all up to play beautifully.

Pick your own design, choose your finish, and tweak the neck feel to suit your style. Whether you want a sleek modern look or a vintage-inspired classic, this is your chance to build something completely unique. And the best bit? You’ll leave with a fully working, professional-standard guitar you built with your own hands.

It’s not just about building a guitar—it’s about the pride, creativity, and joy that comes with it. You’ll gain real insight into how guitars work, feel more connected to your instrument, and leave with something truly special that no shop can sell you.

Looking for gifts for guitar players that are truly unforgettable? This is one of the most unusual gifts for guitar players out there—an experience that lasts far beyond the workshop. Perfect for birthdays, Christmas or that “you deserve it” moment.
