Guitar Making Courses

Stephen has taught in a variety of different ways. From evening classes and one day classes to a full 4 week intensive course. Most of the time, courses are taught on a one on one basis and can be booked to any date you require. Stephen likes to build a guitar along side his student to aid in teaching.

Evening Classes
These are usually 3 hours per session. This is the most leisurely way to build a guitar. They are charged on an hourly basis of £15 per hour plus materials.

Ultra Intensive 2 Week course
This course is designed for everyone who would love to build their own guitar but just can't commit the time for a 4 week course. You get to build a guitar based on a fairly set plan. A pre-made rosette will be used and Steve will make a few minor parts of the guitar such as the bindings which will be made to suit the rosette. The rest of the guitar will be made by you from scratch in just two weeks! All materials, Gotoh tuners and a Hiscox Pro II hard case are included. The price of this course is £2500.

Intensive 4 Week course
The full 4 week course where you get to make everything; including designing your own rosette, binding and perflings. Various bracing systems can also be used. All materials, Gotoh tuners and a Hiscox Pro II hard case are included. Course cost £3500.

Although accomodation is not included, lunches are happily provided by Sabrina. Bexhill-on-Sea and surrounding areas make for a wonderful stay. If you are interested in making a guitar with Stephen Eden and would like any advice on accomodation please get in touch.
