THE FRET & GRAIN DIFFERENCE

Don't just buy a guitar. Build one.

With more than 21 years of experience in guitar repair, setup and electronics, Fret & Grain Boot Camp is designed around practical skills and real hands-on experience.

We don't simply show you where each part goes.

We teach you how to assemble, align, wire, measure, adjust and understand your instrument.

MORE THAN JUST A WORKSHOP

This is more than a 4.5-hour guitar assembly class.

It's a chance to spend the day building something with your own hands, meet fellow guitar enthusiasts and learn skills that you can continue using long after the Boot Camp.

You arrive with nothing.

You build it yourself.

You leave with a guitar, a complete tool kit and a new set of skills.

BUILD THE GUITAR.
