the tools, materials and tricks to build, set-up and finish a guitar right. Join
top guitar repair and tech professionals, and touring musicians for this enjoyable,
hands-on, two-day program.
Setting up an electric guitar the right way makes an amazing difference in its
playability and sound. We'll bring a top-quality Carvin Bolt or Bolt-T
guitar kit for you to assemble and learn setup technology. Or, you can take
advantage of our student discount and purchase your own Carvin guitar kit,
personalized with just the options you want. See below for additional information.
