Description

Study at the foot of the master without the incessent bowing or breathing exercises.  Develop a familiarity with the workings of your instrument inside and out and emerge a bona fide guitar whisperer. 


Winning bidder will receive a private guitar set-up workshop for four people.  Whether Rock Project students or San Francisco Bay Area musicians attend the workshop, there is much to be learned from guitar tech and owner of SF Guitarworks Geoff Luttrell and his tech crew.


The secret to a perfect guitar setup is that there are no secrets.  All it takes is a certain degree of skill, lots of practice, and proper guidance.  We at SF Guitarworks believe that every musician should understand how their instrument works – knowing this will give a greater understanding of what their guitar is capable of, how to assess problems, help them make wiser guitar buying decisions, and not leave them hanging when their guitar goes down at a gig.  In our Setup Workshops, you will learn:



  • How to assess and diagnose the playability of your guitar

  • How a truss rod works and how to adjust it properly

  • What a radius is and how it applies to your instrument

  • How to set your intonation

  • What tools are used during a set up and how to use them

  • And much, much more!


Each student will have their own fully equipped bench to work on. Each student gets plenty of hands-on experience, and as much individual attention as possible.







SF Guitarworks is first and foremost a group of musicians with a passion for guitar craft.  We are driven in the pursuit of the perfect instrument: flawless fretwork, dead-on intonation, awesome sound – something that inspires creativity and a desire to play.  We are moved by great tone, and are glad to help getting your amp running properly, modifying your pedals, or optimizing your signal chain for the best sound possible.


We understand how frustrating it is to have an instrument or amplifier that gets in the way of your musical expression.   We strive to have your repair completed correctly the first time, on schedule, and within budget.  All our work is covered under a lifetime warranty, and  is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee – we’re not happy until you’re happy.
