I attended a guitar expo in Melbourne some months ago, and saw the Wildwood Instruments stall where I spoke with Nick about this guitar building course held over a weekend, so I booked myself in for the first weekend of July, and glad I did. Always wanted to build my own telecaster, and Nick was helpful in assisting additional parts like an aqua-turquoise pickguard and Fender Tex-Mex pickup set, which fitted smoothly. The guitar turned out great and sounds amazing. Highly recommend this activity.

I always wanted to make a guitar myself.
i found Wildwood Instruments online and booked in with my dad and 2 of his mates.
We had a great weekend and made some amazing feeling and sounding guitars.
Nick was able to support all of us and ensure we were comfortable with each step. I changed the pickups to the upgraded set and added custom writing to the guitar. The upgraded pickups sounded great!
Highly recommend this to anyone interested in woodwork, guitars or electronics

Thanks for your feedback Ben. Your guitar sounded amazing with the upgraded pickups! May it bring you many years of service and enjoyment!

I was pretty nervous about building a guitar – convinced I would be bringing home some bent and twisted pieces of timber.
But it was not to be – the kit is great quality, and under NIck’s patient tutelage got turned into a beautiful bright red Tele.
Even better, Nick walked us through the complete set up process, to ensure that it plays beautifully! And having put it together, I have the confidence to make the sorts of changes electric guitar players are always talking about – swapping components in and out – something I would never have contemplated before.
Highly recommended…..

I cannot recommend this highly enough. A unique experience with other guitar enthusiasts in a beautiful setting. You’ll learn about making & setting up guitars, pick up some handy woodworking tips, and come out with an awesome-sounding guitar! Nick is a knowledgeable and patient teacher with great passion. Really happy with my new TL – tone, playability, look – this course is a must do!

Beautiful well -weighted instrument with great tone and easy playablity.
The finished result was so amazing and have received great feedback from friends and family on the look and colour I picked.
Neck and body pieces were beautifully shaped.
The weekend course was one of the best things I have ever done!
Informative with the right amount of technical difficulty and space for being creative.
