Workshop Courses
Join me in my new workshop in Hambledon in the beautiful Surrey Hills AONB and build your own guitar or bass. With 3 course formats to choose from, you will learn to draw and design a guitar, create templates from your drawing and build your very own guitar. These courses are suitable from the complete novice to the more knowledgeable woodworker

I had a once in a lifetime experience with Stu doing my very first guitar build which was amazing! I cannot speak higher of Stu’s expertise and skill, teaching and above all patience to help me along the way to creating something I am really proud of. I would 100% recommend doing a course with him and also check out the guitar he himself builds which are truly beautifully made and fantastic playing instruments

I spent a whole week building a guitar with Stu at SMP Guitars and I can honestly say it was one of the most satisfying weeks of my life so far!! Stu truly is a master of his craft! He took me through every step of the way and I left with an absolutely fantastic guitar! He allowed me the freedom to be creative and really bring my ideas to life! For someone like myself that could never imagine even building a guitar and then managing to have one completed within a week!! The guitar building course is worth every single penny! I cannot recommend this course enough! I left SMP guitars with a bit more knowledge of my intrument and the amount of work that goes into creating a quality instrument from scratch!! I honestly cannot thank Stu enough!! If the course is running again next year I will definitely be back!! Thank you Stu! You're an absolute legend!!
