Hey Dale and Tyler!I was the long haired/beared guy in your Sept 2024 all Telecaster build class last year and wanted to say Thank you again for such great teaching!I purchased a 2000 Gary Moore Signature Les Paul in Excellent condition recently. First night I started messing with it the higher notes were dying out especially when bending. I put it on my workbench and started going through the steps I learned in your class and quickly noticed the truss rod nut was super glued!! Also noticed the bridge was raised way higher than on my Kirk Hammett Greeny Les Paul (I believe to lessen the frets dying out?) .I immediately contacted the seller listing the issues and said I would be returning it and asked for a return label as none of this was disclosed in the listing. I sent it back for free and got a full refund. It could have lost $3,300 had I not taken your course and known what to look for.You both are doing an amazing service for people in your school there. Thank you again, I wish you the best!- Dave
It has been over 50 years that I have wanted to build an acoustic guitar and the NGI Flattop class far exceeded my wildest expectations. My OM sounds and plays fantastic! The sharing of experience, wisdom, and insights from Dale and Tyler Unger and Tim Teel are second to none. Sign up….you will be so glad you did!!

Nazareth Guitar Institute Archtop Guitar Building Workshop
The home of the Martin Guitar Factory since the early 1800’s, guitar building is in the air in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. Building a guitar with Nazareth Guitar Institute’s Dale and Tyler Unger is a magical experience of a sort adults rarely enjoy. It is like the summer camp where you made new friends, discovered new aptitudes and surged forward in self-confidence and independence. Dale’s and Tyler’s deep knowledge and skill in guitar building and repair, informed by broad experience in teaching, is delivered in a relaxed atmosphere that provides all the guidance necessary to move participants smoothly through difficult processes without the anxiety and hesitation they would feel working alone. Students leave at the end of a week too soon over with a great guitar, confidence in their ability to continue building instruments, and expanded appreciation of the fascinating history and on-going evolution of guitar building.
