Presented By Australian Luthier - Chris Wynne! Welcome Acoustic Guitar Enthusiast & Woodworker, You are about to become one of our Premier Clients! You have the opportunity to be one of the first to own this Australian DVD Collection. This DVD collection has been sold in Italy, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Canada, England, Ireland, UAE, USA and Brazil, Slovenia, Spain and of course in Australia. The creation of the “Master Class” DVD Series started with a desire to impart all the knowledge required to build a professional custom built acoustic guitar. The nurturing of this simple idea has resulted in this remarkable collection of DVD’s. With 13 hours of footage this collection covers not only every step of the guitar making process, but also the current state of industry knowledge on the science and use of Australian tonewoods for building Guitars.
Working with Australian Tonewoods in Guitar making has been a passion of mine for years and the idea of sharing it with woodworking enthusiasts, players, non-players, guys and girls like you, has been the realization of a life long dream. The DVD “Master Class” series was professionally filmed over a period of 18 days.

The editing and creation of the accompanying resources has taken over 6 months to edit and develop with many late nights spent checking and rechecking the DVD footage to ensure you get every Tip, Hint or Secret that I mentioned. During this process it became apparent that in order to give the student ALL the resources needed to build successfully and professionally that a Luthiers Handbook would need to be included to house all the resources, templates and diagrams.(More on that in a moment)
Additional Interviews were filmed with a number of professional industry friends to prize out their incredible knowledge and experience of working with Australian Tonewood. These interviews stand alone as an incredible rare resource that has never been documented for Luthiers before.

We traveled to Tasmania to visit a beautiful Blackwood, Sassafras and Myrtle Forests and dropped in on Chris Searle - a local timber supplier with an extensive knowledge of Australian timbers and Tonewoods. Next we headed to Melbourne and interviewed Andrew Morrow, a Wood Scientist currently undertaking research in the acoustics of Australian Timbers. Finally, over an informal lunch at Montsalvat with Local Luthier Jack Spira (with clients such as Sting and Deborah Conway), we chatted about how and why he chooses particular types of timber for guitar making.
