Trevor Gore 3 day workshop in Newcastle

Post by Wayde Christie » Wed Jul 30, 2014 2:56 pm

G'day folks,

I've just signed up for a 3 day guitar building workshop with Trevor Gore in November. It's at the Australia Guitar Making School in Newcastle which I've been a student of for a couple of years.

Apparently there are 6 spots available and there are three left.

From all accounts the last time this course was run it was very highly regarded.

Thought this might be of interest to a few of you :)

Wayde.

Do they do electrics? And in my case, stupidly pointy with too many strings electrics?

Hey mate,

They have done electrics, but reluctantly :)

The school would certainly be a way for you to access most of the equipment you'd need.

If they're reluctant to build electrics they'd love me :lol:

Trevor may have built a few electrics but I'd say his area of expertise is acoustics. Why dont you build an acoustic with Trevor and come over to the dark side?

I have literally not touched an acoustic in about 5 years :twisted:

Would you be able to point me the right direction for information about the course?

Hi Matthew,

Probably best to just hit up Strato at the school. Here's the website: http://www.australianguitarmakingschool.com.au/

He'll be able to sort you out.

As John rightly pointed out to me, this is not a guitar building workshop - it's more about design.

John has a great post about his experience at the last course here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4002&hilit=trevor+g ... ign+course

Cheers!
