Another Successful Year

Another year has come and gone with a whole new batch of hand-made student guitars. We'd like to wish all of our graduates the best of luck as they move ahead in life whether it be continuing their education here or elsewhere, working in the field or whatever is part of their plan. I'm sure they all have a plan right?

So thanks to everyone in the program, all of those at the college that help our students from the first phone call or email right on through the graduation ceremony. We have a wonderful staff here at the college at all levels which helps make this such a great place to get an education.


Thank you!!

Second Year of Guitar!

This year we worked hard to put together all the necessary planning and information needed to create a second year of the guitar program, then we just waited for state approval. Recently, we got word it has been approved! The Guitar Development & Production program will begin in the fall of 2010.

This is an additional diploma program which will allow students to design an instrument more freely using computer aided drafting and CNC (computer numerical controlled) router technology. Year two will also include building an archtop guitar or mandolin, an inlay class, advanced finishing class and an advanced repair class.

All of us here at Southeast Technical are excited to offer this new diploma.
