Spring Class 2021 – Eisenberg Instruments – Jon Rauhouse Lap Steel Demo

Our Spring Class 2021 Moves Forward

After a few weeks, these folks are “cruising in the demo lane”… They’re bracing their acoustic tops and backs, carving back braces, installing kerfing and side strips, shaping their electric bodies and necks, gluing on fretboards and so much more. It’s becoming a balancing act at this point. There’s a lot to do.

To stay in tune and in time with the instructor demonstrations, our students must adhere to an efficient and consistent work ethic. Guitar Making & Repair can be demanding, especially when things go wrong. But, this is also the best place to learn how to fix those inevitable mistakes, and if you have to remake something, it usually goes much quicker the second time around. Snapshots of Luthiery life at R-V brought to you by Steven Davis and John Lippi:

Eisenberg Instruments at Roberto-Venn

Steve Eisenberg, an R-V graduate and guitar company owner/luthier, dropped in to talk Instrument Design, Marketing and Business with our students. It’s great when our alumni visit. They can offer up advice and experience to our students from the perspective of being out there in the industry – https://eisenberginstruments.com

Jon Rauhouse Lap Steel Demonstration

We’re always delighted when Jon stops in to show our students the power, the magic and the beauty of lap steel guitar.
