I'm curious about how to begin learning to build musical instruments! Aside from basic woodworking classes and workshops, what advanced techniques should I focus on before trying my hand at more complex builds? Are there any specific workshops, programs, or classes that specialize in instrument building that you would recommend?

One key thing is to build up your tool collection. I wanted to create an electric guitar, but the specialized tools for neck building were quite the expense. Sure, you can get by without them, but they definitely make things easier when it comes to neck radius, fret spacing, and sizing. So, invest in the right tools!
Thanks for the advice! I’ll be on the lookout for tools that I can practice with first to make smarter purchases.
