a cat called Paddy Burgin is opening spaces for a 3.5-week guitar-building course next January. im not sure how much the fees are but everything is provided. looks pretty interesting, i would gladly spend a month goofing around with guitars in welly!

anyone here who's done it before?

My old neighbour's brother did that course, and came out of it with a pretty decent guitar - He said it was an awesome experience, he learnt heaps, and recommends it highly.

He also said it was a sh*tload of work, but if youre prepared to put in the hours, then i doubt you will regret it.
