Woodcraft of Seattle, WA

I had the pleasure of attending the class taught by Robert Ford. He is an excellent instructor and knows the subject extremely well. I would recommend this class to anyonre who has considered making a guitar but just needs to take the first step. The kit is very well put together and Roberts guidance made it all very clear for me.
Thank you.
