Guitar Electronics Upgrade & Repair Workshop with Sonoma County GuitarworksHave you ever wanted to...install the “Jimmy Page” mod in your Gibson? Have your existing circuit modified or completely wire your guitar? Add a couple of push/pull pots to your Tele for series and out of phase options? Sign up for this class and learn to do it yourself!
In this two evening class, we will:
-Start by discussing how and why the electronics components in your guitar effect the tone. Discuss the components in a guitar’s electronic circuitry—pots, caps, switching options, pickup types—and how they all work together.
-Demonstrate soldering and do a hands on soldering session. This involves more than just learning to connect a wire to a lug. You’ll learn about proper use and cleaning of a soldering station, proper wire dressing, designing a clean layout for your wiring, how to secure leads and how to leave every joint looking like it was done by a pro.
-Design and install an electronics upgrade in your own guitar or repair an existing issue.
Before the class, we’ll thoroughly discuss your project plans to be sure we have the correct components on hand and enough class time to have your wiring dream become reality.
Each student will have their own fully equipped bench to work on – all tools are provided during the class. Shop owner, Geoff Luttrell teaches each class. Classes are limited to 4 people, so each student gets plenty of hands-on experience, and as much individual attention as possible.
Because each project is individualized for the student and varies greatly, Class fee does not include parts

What our students are saying...
“The class far exceeded my expectations. I did not realize how much attention we would get and the willingness to connect the dots for us. I was also blown away by the fact I was able to be taught how to do any of it and actually retain it. I have already tore open another guitar and I retained all the info, two weeks later. I also was blown away by the generosity to offer a bench for the guys that had more complex projects and could not get through. SO cool!”
“In my 25 years of playing amateur guitar, this is by far the best thing I’ve ever done. Hands down!! Glad i found SF Guitarworks and Geoff’s classes, it truly has been an eye opening experience, now I don’t have to throw away guitar parts or pickups if something breaks down, i can sit at home and fix it instead. Every serious/ semi-serious guitar player should consider taking a class or two here.”
