Great fun and really interesting. Ted has a great knowledge of guitars and is full of tips and advice for newbies like me and lots of stories from when he was in bands.
Also, if he suggests getting a pie from the local pie shop, you say yes! Yum
All in all well worth the two and a half hour drive. Might go back for a strumstick!
Thanks Ted

Thanks JoelI look forward to seeing you and well done on the build my friend.
Ps The wammy bar is in the post and thank the wife too!
kind regards Ted
We had a thoroughly enjoyable day with Ted. He is a highly personable tutor with great skill, knowledge and patience. I am now looking forward to stripping the guitar back to component form and adding a colourful design finish to the woodwork, comfortable in the knowledge that I can rebuild it without too much trouble.
Highly recommended!
Response from Teds Woodworking/ instrument making Courses:
James asked lots of questions about the technical issues involved in guitar building and he was able to do most of the work himself. Well done James I hope you can come back soon for another woodworking course. Thanks again and kind regards Ted.Great course. Very interesting to see guitar being put together stage by stage. Ted explained everything clearly and paid great attention to detail. I found the day very enjoyable and can recommend the course to anyone who has an interest in electric guitars. Ted is also an excellent player and shows you what can be achieved on your creation. He is also an all round good bloke!
