“I’ve seen plenty of guitar making courses that send you home with something that looks nice… but barely plays. That’s not what we do.”
— Raj, Ebonisto Academy Founder
At Ebonisto, we care about the joinery, the fretwork, the tonewood… and the joy of playing something you made with your own hands. We’re here to make sure your guitar sings—whether around a campfire, on stage or to your grandkids.
