Hello everyone, I've been wanting to make guitars for a long while. Looking forward to being flooded with great information and motivation. Does anyone know if there are any in-person gatherings of guitar makers in Scotland? Greetings from East Lothian. 

Justin.

@justinw

Welcome Justin. There are a good few guitar builders in Scotland but I don't know of any particular gatherings in person. 

Doing one of Mark's in person workshops would be a good start. 

If you have the time to spare then you could enroll in the Stringed Instrument Making course at Anniesland college in Glasgow (Glasgow Clyde College)  

You'll get a lot of advice and encouragement here...... just ask the question and we'll try to help.

Hey @justinw & @rayfinch welcome to the club! 

You'll have a great time building and, as many of the folks here will say, it gets addictive.

Hi Justin

Im in south Scotland and don’t know of any guitar making gatherings. Maybe it’s something to organise, like a weekend in Glasgow or Edinburgh.

Some people call me a tool, others are less complimentary. Tools being useful things.
