Our School- Southeast Guitar Repair Academy is Live!
We have always had at 5+ people stop in or contact us every month asking which luthier school we would recommend. We have dozens of clients over the years asking if we offered any workshops. We have had clients ask if they could pay us to sit in with Barrett and watch him do a setup. And above all, we have continually struggled with finding qualified graduates from every luthier school to staff our shop in the past.
We now have the option available for everyone! Southeast Guitar Repair Academy is an in depth online course that will teach you the repair side to lutherie. We teach you restrings, setups, bone work, fret dresses and the advanced repairs too. We also give ongoing support for our students & graduates. Even if you have graduated from another lutherie school, we know the usual repair portion from Luthier schools are not thorough and they don't give you the knowledge to go out and start repairing guitars right away in a shop. Building a guitar and making it play well are 2 different beasts. No matter where you are in the world, you can learn the Southeast Guitar Repair techniques!
We will be accepting a limited number of enrollments.
Whether you are brand new to the repair side or you are struggling with your current repair techniques and, our course will help you with the foundations to a successful career in the guitar repair field. Our course tuition is modestly priced compared to in person Luthier Schools, so if you are interested in our course just to maintain your own collection or take on a new hobby in your spare time, this is for you as well! Now is the perfect time to invest in new knowledge.
From our experience in 2020, we surpassed prior years revenue to have our best year yet and we were closed an entire month due to the shutdown in April 2020. It proved to us that consumers wanted to spend money on their instruments during a pandemic. I think we all started putting more value on our hobbies and it was ok to invest in the things that made us happy. Basically, business is booming in the guitar repair industry! People will always need a good tech to maintain their gear.
