| Introducing "The Classical" - now available. Starting at $2,000.00 | 2013 Custom Crafted Guitars - made in Winters, CA in the USA |
ARC Guitar is now accepting students for our Guitar Building School.
Learn how to build an acoustic guitar in your spare time using the same materials and techniques we do. For a moderate price, you can design and create a custom guitar in our shop with hands on instruction in traditional guitar construction with a concern for your safety. All materials and tools necessary will be provided for the student to produce an instrument similar to a Martin D-28 or Taylor 410 when finished. Classes meet on Saturdays in two sessions and limited to four students. It takes about 16-20 weeks to build an acoustic guitar.
For those looking for a shorter commitment, we now offer ukulele building classes for a project that can be completed in as little as 4 - 6 weekends at a very affordable price. The ukulele class also includes a finish on the instrument and one free ukulele lesson. Inquire for more details.
