 Earn your Certificate in the field of Lutherie as you build a top shelf guitar (One on One) with Luthier Brian Hawkins. Dive in to an intense 25(+)day course while you build a beautiful Acoustic guitar (steel or nylon) completely from scratch (this is NOT a kit guitar course). As anyone who has taken this course will tell you, you will build yourself a top shelf guitar heirloom guitar that you will cherish.

  With a mix of traditional technique and modern technology, you will build a guitar that is sure to be an experience that you will not forget or regret. With specific one on one instruction you will learn as much in 25(+) days as your brain will allow. You will build your guitar completely from scratch, not from a pre-made kit.

  If your goal is to work in a cookie cutter guitar factory then this course is NOT for you.

Tuition is $6500 and includes the premium materials that you will build with. A $1500 non-refundable deposit is required and I f you are not from the Virginia Beach area then you will also need to book a place to stay. Hawkins Guitar is located about 5 miles from the Virginia Beach ocean front.

If you would like to discuss this further or if you have any questions then email Brian, Text or Call him at (757) 214-2278. Texting is best as the school is a busy place.
