Depending upon a student's schedule and the hours invested, making a guitar can take anywhere from three weeks and up to four months. Recognizing that individuals often must negotiate around busy work schedules, ARC Guitar offers flexibility accommodating its student's' schedules. The studio is open six days a week and evenings by appointment, and scheduling is simple.

Unique Hands-On Experience
The process of building a guitar begins with the student choosing the raw materials with which he/she will be working (exotic woods, glues, mother of pearl inlay, etc.) and continues by immersing the student in the joys and (sometimes) trials of real-life wood-working, developing skills and problem solving techniques along the way.

This approach emphasizes hands-on experience-- those  without prior shop or wood working skills are welcome.
