I've been working as a professional guitar maker for over 20 years.
So how do you make a living building guitars? Knowing your craft is one thing, but making sensible decisions about how and where to work can make just as much difference as your craftsmanship.
These are my top 5 tips for guitar makers looking to make a living from the craft. Some learned the hard way through my own experience, or following the careers of other luthiers.
I hope it will shine some light to your luthier career path!
