DARKHORSE ELECTRIC GUITAR BUILDING COURSE (1 week)

Starts February 23, 2026

CUTOFF FOR REGISTRATIONS, December 1, 2025

You will have some options on the purchase of your guitar kit. For this reason I need time to order the parts, so I have to cut off registrations on December 1, 2025. I will talk to each of you when you register to ensure we get the right body, colour, pickups, etc. for your build.

This course is all about having a week of sheer fun! We have done our homework and assembled custom kits for you to build. It’s your choice: either an S-type or a T-type guitar.     

We have found good quality components, so this guitar is really going to rock. We have pickups by Carparelli, Pegcity, and Lawlor as options for your axe. The bodies and necks are pre-finished to save time. You can select colour, matt or gloss, and of course body style (T or S).  If you wish another colour, please let us know as soon as you can so we can get it for you. 

We will be doing these additional things to improve performance :

  • shielding
  • soldering and wiring
  • installing pots and caps
  • upgrading the neck mounting system
  • verifying the frets
  • measuring and adjusting the action at the 1rst and 12th frets
  • and verifying/adjusting the intonation.

 

 

You will not only know how to build these guitars, but how to set them up and keep them in tune. We will be busy working in the shop daily from 9:30 to 4pm daily. Bring your lunch – you have access to our kitchenette with kettle, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, and fridges/freezers. Rooms are available for the duration for just  $375, so you can stay on site. First come first served. We have 3 rooms. Put down your deposit as soon as you can, because we have to order in the parts specific to your guitar.
Call 613-292-1985 to discuss this with Ted.

The deposit to book your bench is $1,000, non-refundable. If you have to withdraw, you may apply the $1000 to a guitar purchase from our store, for an upcoming 5-week acoustic course or a 1-week electric guitar course the following year.

Tuition for the course is $1900.00 plus tax. Call now! We have to have registrations complete by December 1, 2025  to give us time to get the materials ordered.

See you soon.
