"At Minnesota State College-Southeast Tech’s Guitar Repair and Building program, we teach our students guitar repair and building as a career. Our program is designed to teach not only the skills involved, but also understanding of the instruments, their components, materials and acoustics. The very best people in our field are not only highly skilled at the craft, but also creative problem solvers. Repair work and instrument building constantly offer new opportunities to improve the way something is done or how well an instrument plays and sounds."
The 9-month program specializes in building, setup, and repair of acoustic and electric instruments. Optional 5-day workshops can focus on archtop constructions, electric guitar construction, and advanced finishing.
