Successful git-building course for the Youth Access kids. They loved it and did a great job!!! A couple of the guitars are good enough to sell :-). Couldn't do pups due to lack of $ but me be next time.....

Yeah, the cheapness was the main factor!  Again - great work you're doing with this, Marcus!  Kudos!

Comment by Marcus Darwell on April 29, 2015 at 5:35am

Yeah Gary, I did put a piezo in one of them - the kid had built an acoustic version with me last year so I let him electrify this one. I may use them next year but piezos are really difficult....esp for total beginners....just too much extraneous noise. However, they are cheap.

Way cool, Marcus!  Skills to last a lifetime!  Maybe consider the piezo disks to help keep costs down, while still making them electric?  Good on you and them, as Uncle says!

Cool gits made by cool kids. I've already done courses with students at the same age. They liked it very much. Your students also seem to have a lot of fun!

Comment by Uncle John on April 29, 2015 at 1:21am

Cool.  Good on you and them.
