John Reuter was hired as an instructor after graduating from Roberto-Venn in 1984 and participating in the graduate workshop program. John received a degree in Manufacturing Engineering Technology from Arizona State University in 1982 and worked as a machinist and programmer of CNC machines before enrolling at R-V. These experiences and John’s impeccable craftsmanship have resulted in improved construction techniques, curriculum revisions, and his promotion to Director of Training for the school in 1995. John’s custom built “Reuter Guitars” have found their way onto the covers of FRETS and Guitarmaker magazines, and into the hands of fine musicians like Jorma Kaukonen and Joe Myers.
