Guitar Repair & Building - Minnesota State College Southeast Teaching guitar repair and building at Minnesota State College Southeast in Red Wing MN since 1974

At Minnesota State College Southeast’s Guitar Repair and Building program, we teach our students guitar repair and building as a career. Our program is designed to teach not only the skills involved, but also understanding of the instruments, their components, materials and acoustics. The very best people in our field are not only highly skilled at the craft, but also creative problem solvers. Repair work and instrument building constantly offers new opportunities to improve the way something is done or how well an instrument plays and sounds. Successful students have the qualities of dependability, self-motivation, and the ability to sit down at a workbench and stay focused on their work, all day. Upon graduating from the program, our students have a strong foundation in the art of guitar repair and building.
