Meet Your Instructor
Hi, I’m Jeff Bamburg
For 20 years, I've built acoustic guitars played by top musicians and collected by working professionals.
I've refined these modern methods with many hands-on students and now bring them to you in the comprehensive video course.
My guitars feature a proven cantilevered bolt-on neck design that eliminates neck resets - forever.
