The Teachers Hancock
Guitars has been established since 1989. Brothers Dane and Sean
learnt the craft of lutherie from their father Kim Hancock who is now
retired. The Hancock family build both archtop guitars www.hancockguitars.com
and fine classical guitars www.masterguitars.com.
Hancock
guitars are played by high profile musicians including Richard Clapton,
Phil Manning, Doug de Vries and James Sherlock and sold worldwide through
prestigious dealers including Guitar Salon
International
in the USA, Aura Guitars in
Japan and Stafford Classical Guitars in the UK. Dane and Sean have constructed several hundred guitars throughout their careers including virtually every type of guitar. After building this number of guitars they have established which methods of guitar construction are the most effective. With many years of experience building such a variety of guitars, lutherie is now second nature to Dane and Sean. This level of experience is an important advantage of the Hancock Guitar Making Course. It allows them to pass on the most important aspects of guitar making during the course and teach the most efficient techniques, thereby cutting out much of the trial and error normally experienced with learning to be a luthier. © Hancock Guitars 2008.
