Buzz Feiten Acoustic & Electric Guitar Retrofitting Training

Lutherie is an ever changing art form. One of the great aspects of a Lutherie School is cultivating a lifetime of learning. There is great research and new ideas coming out all the time and Timeless Instruments is helping to continue that process by passing that knowledge on as much as we can.

Timeless Instruments is now offering Buzz Feiten Tuning System retrofitting for both electric and acoustic guitars.
