One of my students wants to learn how to construct guitars. He is an experienced and accomplished woodworker, and he builds furniture, so he knows his way around wood, and building with wood, and finishing. He has a fully furnished workshop.

He asked me to recommend the best kit to get started, along with any advice, caveats, admonitions, etc. that anyone here would care to give.

Thanks to all, and I will pass on all replies to my student.

Since he is a skilled woodworker and has a shop, I would advise against a kit. You Tube has many videos of flamenco guitars being made. I would advise him watching all of them for ideas on how he might want to precede. Luthier Supply has necessary special tools and jigs, etc, or he might want to make his own. It would be to his advantage to visit a guitar maker. Here are videos by some of our forum makers. Stansell has several more videos showing most of the process.

Hi Ramon ,

Heres a link for a company in Spain that provides various kits .
