Every year I am asked by high schools seniors if I would be willing to mentor them with their senior project. A senior project must be a project the student is willing to take on outside of their comfort zone and must be successfully accomplished before they can graduate. Typically it helps the student learn skills they never tried before and possibly explore new territory in the up coming work force. When I take a student in, we work together learning basic woodworking skills and about music tonality. I do not charge the student for my time, but rather we exchange services or barter. The student will assist me with some of my woodworking needs in exchange for my time assisting them with building their own guitar. After their guitar is complete the student and I will go to an Open Mic night or school concert and perform several songs. Below is a sample of various student guitar projects.
