Pott Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 I'm REALLY tempted to go to university to study this as it's so far my only option to do what I truly want to do with my life... have you guys heard of any courses that do this..?

Ben Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 I would *guess* that an apprenticeship would seem more appropriate than a university course for something like guitar building... Although there are plenty of vocational degrees so who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 I know there's at least one out there, possibly more (someone here's doing it), but like most of these things, it's focussed on acoustic instruments rather more than electrics.

My parents live in Amstelveen, so that could be a possibility. Is it in Dutch? Would I need qualifications? I'd take an apprenticeship if I knew any luthier who did... but here in Edinburgh there's no one, and in the UK... well it'd he hell to plan...find somewhere to live, etc... I'll try of course but I'd rather just go to uni you know...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pott Posted June 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 (edited) Woaa thanks dude...! The prices are huge though... But when I finish uni, I'll make darn sure to call all of them up! Thanks! Oh Setch... would you happen to know any guitar builder in Edinburgh, Scotland? Edited June 16, 2006 by Pott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Not a clue I'm afraid - I'm right down the other end, in the big smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Pott: I meant in the UK, actually. I don't know of any in the Netherlands, but there are at least two fairly well known ones in Belgium. Not that that helps much, probably... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pott Posted June 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Ohh alright then. Thanks anyway. These links should give me something to chew one. I'll try Bailey at first for maybe this summer if I ever find the money by some miracle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
