A new decade of Guitar Building

The revolution continues...

As I start my own 4th decade of building guitars it has been really encouraging to see the GM community grow and develop, thanks to the internet and of course you guys! AMAZING how technology has brought this manual craft into the 21st century and I am now able to share my knowledge with the world.

With the completion of the full Acoustic Design and Build Course our site GuitarMaking.co.uk now has over 400 unique videos and hundreds more in the pipeline - We are only limited by time and money - the more members we have the faster we can get them out to you - please help us grow by spreading the word and sharing copiously!

This year we are totally dedicated to improving the member experience and bringing even content more to those members already patiently waiting...

Here's a taste of what's new:

1  A Monthly LIVESTREAM from the Workshop - first Sat of every month

The GM youtube channel has grown in the last year, and so we have decided to have an event that brings both communities together - I will be streaming live this Sat 1st Feb ...and then every first Sat for the rest of the year. Join us here in the Bailey Workshop for answers to members Q's, updates, member wins and live tips - if you miss it don't worry - it will be available here on YouTube

2 First Masterclass to be released - 'How to Use the Bag Press for Guitar Making'

Darren King runs Bagpress.com and in his spare time is one of our active GM community members.
Late last year he visited the workshop to show us his guitars and demo his Bagpress laminating system.
Darren truly is a master of his craft - it was an honour to have him here - such a pro!  I hope you all enjoy the videos...
Oh, did we mention by the way it  will be completely FREE to view!
The full series of Masterclasses/demo, and interview will be released immediately after the livestream ends - watch the promo

3 BYO workshops

A late start this year but we have finally released some BYO course dates here in Scotland at the Bailey Workshop - if you don't see the dates you would like- please get in touch as more course are being created in the next couple of weeks - First one is at the end of Feb - more info

Enjoyed the Livestream but had to watch on Sunday as I was out on Saturday.

Are you going to do bits from your BYO workshops again - enjoyed watching the last one - does it take much extra work?

Measure once........ Measure again......... Sod it - make tea!

I really enjoyed the live Youtube session and I’ll look forward to it every month. I loved the video and input from Darren King, it was very informative, such a knowledgeable guy. 

Keep it up Mark.

Make guitars, not war 🌍✌️🎸
