I'm seriously thinking in make the Totnes, because sounds to me as the most renowned/traditional... Is that right?

[WezV]

always seemed to expensive to me but i am sure its worth it if you can afford it.

£5000, 12 weeks and 1 guitar!!!

[FernandoDuarte]

Wow! Getting more expensive :o

The Shuker one looks good, you walk away with a manual at the end too. Not a bad price either. :)

[WezV]

i'm certainly not saying the totnes one is bad, i would love to go there and do an archtop - but the chances of me having 3 months and £5000+ to do that any time soon are pretty slim. 

[Jamie]

Thanks for all of the links Wez. Im looking to get a proper qualification in it but i just cant seem to find the right one for me. I shall keep looking though.

Not necessarily, you can build however many you can handle.  I heard tell of people building 2 maybe 3 there in that time.  For the experience you gain, it is absolutely worth every pound.
