Guitar Crafting
Experience.
The first edition, with Ale of ShapeYourTone.

Guitar Crafting Experience: a day at Area Saideno to assemble and set up your own electric guitar, guided by Ale of ShapeYourTone. And at the end of the day, everyone takes theirs home.

The workshop

A guitar,
made by hand.

La mattina è partita con un caffè di benvenuto e una breve introduzione. Alle 9:30 il via: ogni partecipante ha scelto i componenti, ha seguito passo passo le fasi di costruzione e regolazione e ha dato forma a uno strumento personale.
