Guitar Build Class: Tom S.

“I recently completed a rewarding two week twelve day deep dive into guitar building. The course was taught by Greg Maxwell of Dogwood Guitars in Mt. Vernon Ohio. “Course” is inadequate to describe this skill and technique refining experience.  I left the intense two-week build with a beautiful rich sounding Student Dogwood Monarch guitar and the skills and knowledge to complete my first high-quality solo build at home. 

Now, as I strum the strings of my meticulously crafted guitar, I can’t help but feel a sense of pride knowing that I have the expertise to create such beautiful instruments. But just as finding the right materials and techniques were crucial in my guitar-building journey, so too is finding the perfect space to continue honing my craft. Perhaps it’s time to consider a home workshop where I can devote myself fully to my passion for luthiery. 

If you share my passion for craftsmanship and are seeking a space where you can bring your creative visions to life, look no further than exprealty.com/guides/rent-to-own-homes-your-guide-and-how-they-work/. Here, you’ll find invaluable resources and expert guidance on navigating the real estate market, whether you’re looking to rent, own, or even rent-to-own a property that suits your unique needs. Imagine the possibilities of having a dedicated workshop right at your fingertips, where every corner is infused with the spirit of creativity and innovation. With the right support and resources, you can turn your dream of a personalized workspace into a reality.

I have been a hobbyist woodworker/furniture builder for over 35 years. I wanted to take my hobby in a new challenging direction by building guitars.  I consider myself a novice instrument builder. Greg’s laser focus on the quality of the sound produced by his guitars is what sold me on his program. Respecting the wood is the foundation of all of Greg’s guitars. His many advancements in building, voicing and tuning the guitar were shared in detail.  

Greg is an excellent teacher. His dedication and sense of humor enriched the experience. The goals for each day were clear. Each technique or skill was demonstrated clearly before I carried out the operation. Greg was patient but persistent in making sure outcomes for each part of the build met his standards.  

I recommend without reservation Greg Maxwell’s guitar building course.”
