About Our Guitar
Repair School


Ever wanted to make a living repairing guitars and other fretted instruments?

At our guitar repair school, we teach our students not only how to repair guitars, but how to form and run their own guitar repair business.

Students receive a hands-on experience inside of a working guitar repair shop staffed with professional guitar repair techs who have over 20 years of professional experience in the industry. We are not your usual guitar build school, we teach you what you need to know to become a band guitar tech, to run your own guitar repair business, or any job you choose in the luthier trade.
