Hey Trevor, I was wondering if you plan on teaching any guitar building classes in 2012?

Scott,

I don't do a guitar building class, as such, I do a 3 day guitar design class, one of which I held recently and is discussed here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4002. It's a 3 day course and needs about 8 participants to make it worth while. John "woodrat" did a lot of the organisation around the last one, for which we were all very grateful and Strato was kind enough to host us in his workshop. I'm up for doing another if you can muster the troops and find a venue! I'm pretty sure Dom would be up for it as he got marooned in Canberra with a dead car when he was supposed to be on parade.

Is it possible to do it at the same place? What would be the cost per student?

If Strato was interested in hosting another, I'd be a +1

I charge $500 per person for the 3 day course for which you get the course (of course!) and colour hard copies of all the (hundreds) of slides I use.

Any charges for hiring a venue would be on top of that.

That would be up to Strato. He's been very generous already.

Hey guys, yes I would be keen and I have spoken to Craig Clancy about doing it and he was keen but it depends on times and all that.
So pencil us in and then we can work on details.
Cheers

Dom, I would have to fly in from the USA, (which would really be worth it) I need some notice to get a decent airfare and hotel. But so far I think it's only the two of us that have any interest. If others are interested please speak up!
