Guitar Repair and Construction Program Overview

At Minnesota State College-Southeast Tech’s Guitar Repair and Construction 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 offer 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.

You can track the progress our students are making in the Guitar Program Blog, which is illustrated with some great photographs. Check back often for updates on their projects!
