Hi,

My name is Robert O’Brien. Welcome to my web site. I have put together a series of pictures that will allow you to take a look at a guitar under construction and get an idea of the steps involved in making a fine handmade classical or steel string guitar. You will also be able to see some of the models I build and sell.

I recently began a very popular guitar building instructional video series on Youtube called Luthier Tips du Jour. You can watch these videos by clicking HERE.   These videos are an incredible drain on my time and energy. If you feel that you are enjoying these videos and they are of benefit to you, please click on the “DONATE” button below so that I can keep these videos coming.  

Also, be sure to check out my instructional DVDs on guitar building. These DVDs will show you, step by step with pictures and audio, how to build your own classical or steel string guitar. My DVD on guitar finishing is also now available. You can order it now.

I am also currently developing a complete online video guitar building course. Stay tuned for more details.

Be sure to check out my classes page to see some pics  from past and current classes. You can also learn about future classes and workshops like the Kent Everett master classes.  You will also find information about joining the Robert O’Brien invitation only guitar building forum.

Watch the video below to hear one of my classcial guitars being played by Dave Olsson.

I would enjoy hearing from you. If you have any questions or comments please contact me.

Sincerely,

Robbie O’Brien
