truerussian558 Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 not only are they doubtfully only one weekend, but the tuition is in the thousands of dollars, Quote Link to comment
jefm Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Some offer courses for a few weeks....I think there's a couple that offer weekend courses....the costs aren't tooo bad... you'd likely do better with a woodworking course in a local college....probably cheaper...and you'll learn about the same thing.... Roberto Venn isn't too far from you ...just a couple states over...save up and take a real course there... a weekend??? I wonder if there's any members in LA willing to give the guy a look for a few $$ Quote Link to comment

darren wilson Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Jeez, people... learn to use Google! The information is out there and easy to find. I don't think there is such a thing as a weekend course, unless you're just hoping to learn how to assemble a guitar from parts or at MOST carve something from pre-made blanks. Glue won't even set up properly in a weekend, and you can forget about most finishing. About all you could learn in a weekend course would be how to assemble a guitar from parts, maybe apply an oil finish, install hardware and electronics, and learn how to do a good setup. I think the shortest courses you're likely to find (where you actually learn anything useful) would be a week or two. Most of the reputable courses are months. Quote Link to comment
