About This Workshop

Guitar side bending and binding are two of the most difficult and intimidating operations in building a guitar. These jigs make a challenging task easy and will be the centerpiece of a guitar shop and will redefine how the work is completed. The bending machine will conform to any guitar body form and can quickly and easily be changed from one design to another. The binding machine holds the guitar body steady while routing a vertical channel around the domed back and top of the guitar, making the binding process flawless. Time will be spent demonstrating how to properly use these two fixtures. All the wood parts and the custom metal parts will be provided but bring your own hardware.
