Introduction to CNC in luthiery
"The truth is that with Ale I have found the correct path and the shortest path to achieve the goal of having pieces finished excellently, as close to perfection, and then finishing them by hand. I highly recommend the course that Ale gives, he has knowledge of luthiery and Fusion360 like no one else, it is very difficult to have all that together, plus incredible human quality. So I highly recommend them, they shortened the path for me and gave me all the tools to achieve the basses I wanted. I am very proud."

“I started studying with Ale, from scratch. From the beginning the method used was very fluid and practical, based on the fact that I had never used a design tool of any kind, today I can carry out an entire project by myself. Both the designing part of the instruments, as well as all the technical issues related to the building, are addressed in the classes at all times, making the process very interesting and fun, and very effective for any variety of instruments, since we developed several designs, with different assembly techniques, construction, etc, and we always manage to reach the expected result!! And everything was very enjoyable too! "

“My great interest in the design and manufacture of electric guitars was a dream that today is a total reality.Taking his courses has been a fundamental part of my development, the classes are not generic, they specifically solve your concerns, he knows what you are talking about and what you are looking for, and fundamentally he openly delivers all his knowledge, which I will always be grateful for.Today I have my workshop fully assembled and functioning, designing and manufacturing with the full freedom that the acquired knowledge gives me, and I can say that if you are looking to get started or perfect yourself further on this path, Alejandro is the right person and route.”
