Millions of Guitars Need Skilled Techs. Why Not You?

Look at the chart.

Guitar manufacturing has exploded since the 1950s.

That means millions upon millions of guitars are already out there — being played, bought, sold, modified, neglected, damaged, repaired and handed down.

And every one of them has something in common:

Sooner or later, they will all need a skilled guitar tech.

That is the opportunity.

Every Guitar Becomes Future Work

A guitar can leave the factory playing alright.

But guitars don’t stay “alright”.

• Necks move.
• Frets wear.
• Nut slots cause problems.
• Electronics fail.
• Hardware loosens.
• Players change tunings, string gauges, pickups and playing styles.

And sometimes a guitar just doesn’t play right — even (or especially!) after someone else has already tried to fix it.

That creates demand for people who can do more than change strings and turn a few screws.

It creates demand for professional guitar techs who can diagnose the real problem and fix it correctly.

The Market Is Already Here

You don’t have to hope somebody buys a guitar you build.

You don’t have to invent a new product.

You don’t have to create demand from scratch.

The guitars are already out there.

Millions of them.

And they need:

• Professional setups
• Fret leveling and crowning
• Refrets
• Nut repair and replacement
• Electronics troubleshooting
• Pickup installation
• Hardware repair
• Buzz diagnosis
• Playability correction
• Maintenance

Every guitar owner who wants their instrument to play better is a potential customer.

Skills Turn That Demand Into Income

The opportunity is real.

But opportunity alone doesn’t make you a professional.

Skill does.

A player handing you a valuable guitar expects you to know what you’re doing.

• You need to know what to measure.
• What to adjust.
• What not to adjust.
• How to diagnose problems.
• How to recognize bad previous work.
• How to produce consistent results.
• And how to hand the guitar back playing better than when it came in.

That is what Guitar Tech Academy teaches.

Learn in a Real Guitar Repair Shop

GTA doesn’t teach like other schools. We don’t teach “hand-me-down” folk-lore style techniques that don’t stand up to the standards of science and physics.

That’s why, out of all the shops in our area, Hank’s Guitar Shop is the preferred setup & repair guitar shop.

We don’t use the “old school” methods at Hank’s and we don’t teach them at GTA. You’ll learn proper, repeatable, measurable techniques that all but guarantee five-star reviews and loyal, repeat customers.

You’ll also learn to use modern tools that aren’t used in other shops. Tools that get accurate measurements. Tools that find buzzes and other problems that can be nearly impossible to find without them. And tools that turn hours into minutes, making your shop more profitable.

You’ll apply your new skills and tools to jobs like –

• Setup.
• Fretwork.
• Nutwork.
• Electronics.
• Diagnostics.
• Repair.
• Quality control.

And we don’t leave out the Business side like: Customer service, Marketing, and back-end tools that save time and make your shop stand out as modern and professional.

The goal isn’t just to teach you how to setup and repair guitars, but to turn those skills into a great career.

Somebody Is Going to Service All Those Guitars

Look at that chart again.

• Every year added more guitars.
• More players.
• More used instruments changing hands.
• More instruments aging.
• More guitars needing setup, repair and maintenance.
• That work has to go somewhere.
• Somebody will become the tech those players trust.
• Somebody will build a reputation.
• Somebody will turn those skills into a business or career.

Why shouldn’t that somebody be you?
