Luthiers

At the Bolton Guitar Studies program we are extremely fortunate to be collaborating with some of the world's leading luthiers. From prize guitars to repairs and maintenance work, the community of guitar makers surrounding our department is exceptional. Our students have the incredible opportunity to win one (or more) of these sought-after instruments, which are awarded at some of our in-house competitions and custom made for each specific winner.
