About this Event
Build a Guitar. Take It Home the Same Day.
Looking for a truly unique Nashville experience? Spend the day at Guitar Build Workshop and build your own electric guitar in the heart of Music City.
Our team brings more than 75 years of combined experience in guitar design and manufacturing, but you don’t need any woodworking—or even guitar-playing—experience to join us. This is a fun, hands-on introduction to the craft of guitar building.
Choose Your Workshop
FULL GUITAR BUILD — Up to 8 Hours
Build your guitar from start to finish with our team guiding you through the process. You'll leave that same day with a finished, playable guitar that you built yourself.
FINISHING WORKSHOP — Approximately 2.5 Hours
Create your guitar's finish, choose your hardware and personalize the details. We'll complete the final assembly after the workshop and ship the finished guitar directly to you.
What You Need
Nothing but comfortable work clothes and closed-toe shoes. We provide the tools, equipment and safety gear.
No woodworking experience required. No guitar-playing experience required.
Pricing
Guitar — $700 + tax
Bass — $775 + tax (Bass workshops returning in 2027)
Reserve your spot with a $50 deposit. The remaining balance is due on the day of your workshop. Tennessee sales tax is 9.75%.
The Full Guitar Build begins at 9:00 AM and includes lunch.

Cancellations & Exchanges
Cancellations or date changes may be made up to 7 days before your scheduled workshop. Deposits are non-refundable within 7 days of the class date.
We're a small business with limited workshop space, so if your plans change, please let us know as soon as possible so we can make the spot available to another builder.
Free on-site parking is available.
Come spend the day building something you'll keep for years—and leave Nashville with a guitar you made yourself.
