 It  was a rewarding experience at Michael Charvel's Guitar Course  to  build my very own guitar. The detailed practical instruction was
  comprehensive as Michael left no stone  unturned.

   I learned a lot of valuable information.
  This Course was well worth every penny!!!

Michael's laid-back, enjoyable manner, and patience
  made the Course a wonderful experience.

What a great  experience; I learned so much about guitars. Michael  Charvel taught  me a lot. The class went very well my guitar plays  like  butter!
  I recommend it to anybody that loves guitars, especially nicely  crafted guitars. It was a dream come true.

Dear Michael,

I have been playing guitar for around 40 years now. I've been buying, selling, and collecting (I currently have approximately 50 guitars at home). I've purchased some from well-known Rock Stars. I learned so much from your course, even with all that experience. It was an excellent investment and a lot of fun, and the result is a guitar that is Custom built and plays and sounds better than anything in my collection.

It was truly amazing. To see and learn the attention to detail that a true  master craftsman puts into building a quality instrument. The level of professionalism and passion afforded these guitars is a truly  eye-opening experience and well worth the course investment. It makes one appreciate the methodology behind            building a quality  custom guitar.

​The course is in-depth. It covers neck adjustments, fretwork, how to wire, how to adjust the Floyd Rose, set-ups, and much more. The attention to detail is extraordinary.

So yes, I highly recommend this unique course; you will have the best guitar you've ever played, practical knowledge you can use repeatedly, and good memories that will last a lifetime.

I just wanted to say thank you, Michael Charvel, for the Wayne Guitar building course. I love the results! I had a lot of fun listening to all your antidotes and stories from over the years.
