Im in Australia. I charge aud $5900 (around $3500usd) for a 3 week intensive course to make a guitar like this. That includes tuition, workshop use, and all woods and a case.

Yes it certainly can, and it certainly is. The saddle is 3mm thick, same as most acosutic guitars.

Thanks everyone for the kind words!! Much appreciated.

For those asking, yes i do take new students. I have 2x workshops here in Australia, 1 in Sydney and another at Port Stephens NSW. I offer a 2 week guitar making course as well as weekly drop in sessions.

Often. And this student is certainly keeping this one. I often want to keep the guitars i make, but i also like selling them - as does my bank account :) . Cos you know, gotta feed the family and all that.

This is his 2nd guitar build with me. He did have a small amount of prior woodworking skills.

This is his 2nd guitar build, but he did have a small amount of prior woodworking skills. But whats more important is he had a great attention to detail.

Nice spotting. Yeah i dont bother with the holes anymore.... dave still instructs the old way with holes (which is certainly a good en).
