Frequently Asked Questions
💬 Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What tools do I need to get started, and how much will it cost?
A: I include a full breakdown of a budget-friendly starter kit and a pro-level toolkit, with links to everything. You’ll also learn how to start small and reinvest as your business grows.
Q: I don’t have much space at home. Can I still do this?
A: Absolutely. Many students start from a small desk, a kitchen table, or a corner of the garage. I’ll show you how to set up a functional workspace in whatever space you have.
Q: How much money do I need to start this business?
A: Most students get started with a few hundred dollars in tools and materials. The business itself is low-overhead and easy to start from home, even on a tight budget.
Q: What services will I actually be able to offer?
A: You’ll learn to confidently perform the 6 most-requested and profitable services in the guitar repair world — the same services that make up over 98% of paid repair work. I also include crack repair, re-fretting and headstock repair to round out the education.
Q: How do I get customers? What should I charge?
A: The course includes my Targeted Visibility Method to help you find and attract customers — even in small towns. You’ll also get pricing guides, client scripts, and marketing templates.
Q: Is this really profitable? Can I make enough to justify it?
A: Many students earn $70–$120 per hour once they’re up and running. I’ll show you exactly how to get your first clients and build a reputation that keeps them coming back.
Q: I’m older and retiring soon. Am I too late to start this?
A: Not at all. Many of my students are 50+ and looking for a meaningful way to earn extra income doing something they love. This is a great fit for retirees, hobbyists, and career changers.
Q: What if I live in a small town? Will this still work for me?
A: Yes. Guitarists are everywhere, and many small towns don’t have anyone offering quality repair services. You might be the only option — which can actually be a big advantage.
Q: What if I’m afraid I’ll mess up someone’s guitar?
A: Confidence comes with knowledge and practice. You’ll start by working on your own guitars, and I teach you how to work within your comfort zone. You’ll also have access to support and a private group if you need help along the way.
Q: Are there suppliers for parts and components?
A: Yes — I show you where to source parts from both retail and wholesale suppliers, and how to stock only what you need at first.
Q: Will I get any support if I get stuck?
A: Yes! You’ll have access to me and a supportive community of fellow students where you can ask questions, share wins, and get feedback whenever you need it.
