Testimonials
“TESTIMONIAL 4 I received my order today and I just wanted to tell you thanks. The wood is exactly what I wanted, absolutely beautiful, the packaging was great and I'm looking forward to buying more from you. I've purchased tonewoods from other vendors and ebay before, but even the best from them doesn't compare to the quality and value of what I bought from you. Thanks again!” - D. E. |

We are pleased to sponsor these “Luthier Tips du Jour” by Robert O’Brien. He is one of the most experienced guitar building instructors in the U.S. He founded and, for nine years, directed the Luherie Program at Red Rocks Community College in Denver, CO. Thousands of LMI customers have used his DVDs for building and fnishing guitars. Robert currently offers online building courses for classical and steel string guitars, as well as private classes. These new video courses are well organized, clear and entertaining. Our KLCRO and KLSRO kits are created especially for these excellent courses.
