Learner reviews

"It is very good for me. I took the first two courses also."(Module 1, Guitar Maintenance, and Module 2, Guitar Setups)..

"As with other modules, I’ve seen this done before but always good to get another perspective and focus on one step of the process at a time."

"Excellent, very informative. Have seen it done on lots of other videos but this is the first time without sanders and other specialist tools, all by hand, which when I have a go is how I’ll be doing it. Good stuff."

"I found this course very informative and full of useful information."

Benefits of the course

Turn a $50 cheap guitar into one that sounds like a $500 guitar.

Improve the tone and quality of the guitar notes by hand making and refitting a customized bone nut.

When you know how to replace yourcheap plasticor broken guitar nut with the more substantial,fuller toned bone nut, your guitar or bass will be transformed byimproved sustain, depth and warmth of your notes – it’s all in the nut.

By the end of this module you’ll be able to replace old damaged and cheap plastic guitar and bass nuts with well-fitting rich-sounding customised bone nuts that not only look professional, but sound great also.

It’s another service you can now offer, turning low-cost guitars into something of quality or replacing damaged nuts with new and better.

Other Guitar Repair training courses are expensive, long and often not easily accessible. This module of the UK government approved training course would cost in excess of £250 per day – here, you can often save over 90% of the cost; it’s very worth it.

Follow step by step withvideos, downloads, quizzes and tasks. Ask questions. Revisit any lecture whenever you need to remind yourself.

Once you’ve completed this module, you’ll be ready to confidently and effectively tackle the bone nut on your own and on customers’ guitars.

And if you can’t find a replacement for that unusually-shaped damaged nut, no worries – make your own.

Theaward-winningGuitar Repair Technician Training Programhas been a preferred choice within the Wales (UK) Employability Sector for guitar repair training (electric, bass, acoustic, classical), and was entered onto the Careers Wales database of approved courses in 2013.

The problem for many, however, was access to the guitar repair workshops i.e. many people simply were unable to attend workshops to learn these great guitar repair skills due to time constraints, geographic location and transportation.

This means that you can now learn how to fix your own guitar and customers’ guitars in your own time, and without needing to leave home. You can even learn while on holiday wherever that may be -mine’s in a camper van; you really can do this job anywhere!
