Can I learn to make flamenco guitars there?
...MEANWHILE... in Petaluma, California...

Any students do any setup sidework? Or can anyone recommend someplace who does? I have a couple Les Pauls that need setups!
Are you a student, faculty member or alum who would like to collaborate with me on crafting an adaptive guitar? I broke my elbow in 2019 and haven't been able to supinate my left arm enough to wrap my hand around the fret board. I have some ideas for an adaptive guitar we could build from scratch or adapt from an existing classical guitar body. I live in Flagstaff and this project means a lot to me. Not being able to play for 2 years has been heartbreaking. Happy to travel to Phoenix as we move the project along and pay for the new guitar, as well. Also happy to pursue a collaboration with a luthier who lives further a field. Please send me a direct message and we can chat further.

Most of our public videos are on YouTube… But in addition to our instructor-led training, our students and alumni get access to a private tutorial video library on Vimeo… This provides a before and after look at our guitar making process and the rudiments of our craft 😉 We’ve made a few of these tutorials available for public viewing here:

Fall 2023 tool seminar is wrapping up today, what a great crew. Stoked for the new semester.

Here’s something interesting!

We’re expanding and hiring for a full time entry level position at Huss & Dalton Guitar Co. No experience is necessary as we will train the right candidate. This position is not an apprenticeship, guitar school, or a hobby to pick up after retirement but instead is a 40 hr. work week in a small production shop. You will sand and sand a lot (we all do!) but get the reward of working on world class guitars in a fun and relaxed environment. Job expectations, pay, and benefits will be addressed in follow up discussions. Please send resumes to Brian Dickel at [email protected] (no phone calls please) and even if you’ve applied in the past re-send an updated resume if you’re interested. Thanks!

Finishing touches on the acoustic guitar builds. Nothing like the experience of stringing up your first acoustic build!

we are just a few operations away from stringing up our acoustics! Just finished up neck and bridge glue ups. Now working on fretting and rough nut and saddle 👍🏻🤘🏻

Students are putting finishing touches on their electric guitars. Great batch of luthiers doing great work.

Only a few days until electric guitars are due for grading. Which also means students are days away from watching their projects burst into life 🤘🏻🤘🏻 first string up is always special.

Electric guitars are coming out of the booth and into assembly. Wiring harnesses, LCP, Nut making then Setups. Four more operations until strings. I guess you could say the shop is electric today!
