About This Course

I am always looking for luthiers that have distinguished themselves as not only top notched luthiers but also those that are good at passing on their knowledge and experience to others. One such luthier is Greg Maxwell of Dogwood Guitars. Recently I invited Greg to document some of the most common repairs he sees in his shop and make these videos available to others. In his setup and repair course he offers straightforward instruction on some of the most common issues facing repair shops, from setups to complete restorations.
