Step into the level of work performed by authorized acoustic warranty centers. This advanced course is built for experienced luthiers ready to handle high-level structural and warranty-style repairs with confidence.
You’ll gain lifetime access to in-depth lessons covering neck resets, binding and fingerboard binding repairs, inlay work, loose fret fixes, heat treatment, fret end finishing, neck heel separation, bridge repairs and resets, crack repair with cleating, saddle slot modifications, pickguard work, and more, including model-specific adjustments and bonus Zoom sessions.
