Over the past 4 years I have
taken 4 different guitar building classes.
(It is what I like to do for my vacation.) Kent, your class was the best ...
By far!

You were fun and had interesting
stories ,... all with the intent of teaching us how to build a better guitar.
It was an honor. I went home with my head swimming in new ideas for my guitars.

I thought the class was awesome!
Just what I was hoping
for.
Instruction on the "why" and the "artistic" and the "time savers".
I can't wait to get started on the next guitar.

Really really really worth the money. I got so much more out of theis class than I could have imagined.

Kent with your class we got
the "why" behind the" how".
I could never gotten that without your experience. A thousand thanks!

The studying I have been doing
the last 30+ years all came together watching you build the guitar...
I can now learn to build a decent guitar.

This class was a great class
!
It helped me keep from screwing up a few guitar kits trying to learn how it's
done.

I have not had this much fun
since I was
a kid playing in the sandbox!

Thanks Kent, you gave me
the courage to realize a dream.
