So... I'm an handwork teacher in Switzerland, working with 11-15 years old children... Selfmade luthier too, and my experience allow me to make guitars with my oldest students. It needs one whole year of job ( two hours a week) to create their model
- discussing esthetic and ergonomy
- drawing the body and the head
- making the neck, slotting the fretboard, fretting...
- sawing the body, drilling and so...
- painting the body and the head
- installing the electronic from A to Z...
Tey do all that alone (directed of course) and finally I do a complete fretdress and the setup (to complicated for them) ; ) It's a big job and I'm soon happy to have finished it !
It's every time a great Aventure for everyone ! The teens are proud and they can !!!
