August 14, 2004 Dear Joe, Just wanted to thank you for giving me the opportunity to fulfill a dream I've had for many years. The 9 week guitar building course that I took at your school was everything I thought it would be and more. Your approach to teaching the old art of building guitars as welll as using the most p to date technology available gave me a good understanding and appreciation for the art of building and repairing guitars. I feel the knowledge you have passed on to me has set me in the right direction and would recommend any of your courses to anyone considering this trade. Thanks again for a great time and a great experience. All the best, |

August 18, 2004 Dear Joe, Just a short note to tlet you know how much I've enjoyed learning how to make guitars these last four weeks. I have been playing guitar for about four years now and I never thought guitars were as complex as they are. While I have been working with you I have learned from your example not to love guitars for just their sound but for how much work a craftsman does to make these works of art. This course was really worth the money and all the time that I spent with you. I would recommend it to anyone looking far a challenge and training from a true master. Thanks again. |

What a great experience to learn from a master with 40+ years under his belt. As a graduate from another lutherie school , I found Joe's course to be a lot more memorable as things weren't just done once. They were repeated throughout the course giving me skills that won't be forgotten. I also enjoyed doing repairs under Joe's tutalage having a master to ask questions is pretty handy and has helped me build confidence in my work that will last a lifetime.

Dear Joe, I just wanted to write to say thanks for the instruction, Joe. It truly was life altering! Before taking your course, guitar building and repair wa a part-time job. Now, I have the skills and confidence to open my own shop, full time! I have been repairing stringed instruments for over 15 years, and have taken numerous instructional courses. I thought I knew it all! Taking the Lado guitar repair course was an eye-opening , humbling experience. I learned more on your repair couse than all the other courses conbined. I came here a repair technician, I left a craftsman! Joe Kovacic is the master! Thanks Joe. |

5 MONTH COURSE Learning from a master luthier like Joe has allowed me to understand the more intricate details of guitar building. The material we learn cannot be found in any textbook or instructional video.When I set out to learn how to build guitars, I wanted to learn the correct method. |

Joe taught me how to build a finely crafted, solidly built guitar; a guitar that I could be proud to display as the first instrument in my career as a luthier. |
