EASTERN SCHOOL OF FRETTED INSTRUMENT REPAIR
The main goal of The Eastern School of Fretted Instrument Repair is to provide a complete and thorough education in both basic and intermediate guitar and bass repair for our students. By providing our graduates with an in-depth knowledge of the lutherie trade, we are giving them the practical, hands-on knowledge needed to gain employment as a guitar repair technician (guitar tech) or, if they’re ambitious enough, to open their own guitar repair business.
Philosophy
Many guitar repair schools promise to teach students how to build & repair guitars. More often than not, what actually happens is the student spends the majority of the course building one, two or three personal pieces, gaining some basic construction techniques along the way, and may spend 3 to 4 weeks on “repairs” at the end of the course. By not focusing on each individual aspect of the guitar tech trade in the proper context, the student will leave these programs without a thorough grasp on the guitar repair trade as a whole. This is not guitar tech training!
We believe that you, the student, can be taught to repair guitars and basses at a level that will allow you to not only survive, but to thrive and prosper in the fast paced and competitive world of musical instrument sales and service.
