What's on the wall
“I've owned and played electric guitars for 15 years but I've always been too intimidated to change any of the setups on my own.”

“They walk you through every step of building a guitar, And take you through the set up process so that it sounds and plays the way it should.”

From the reviews
An absolutely fun day. Josh really knows his stuff and was hands on the whole time. My friend and I had been dying to do this and we were not disappointed. It was everything we expected and more . We learned how to make an electric guitar, and we got take it home with us, how cool is that!
I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this workshop. The staining and finishing process is a lot of fun and guarantees that your guitar is unique. The knowledge I gained from the assembly process was even better.
This place is awesome. Josh was great. I am very happy with the guitar I built. I would recommend this to anyone who loves guitar or just wants to see how they are built. My father in law, who does not play guitar went with me, but had a great time also. I would recommend this to anyone.
My 13 year son and I drove 8 hours from Virginia Beach to Nashville to experience the Guitar Build Workshop. As a father of a teenager, I was looking to give my son a taste of something different and allow him an opportunity to pridefully build and complete something using his own two hands.
Lessons at Guitar Build Workshop
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Guitar Build Workshop. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments on hand for exactly this reason.
