“A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist. ....”

“The guitar class Mike lead us through was one of the most rewarding things I have done! I not only made new friends, but ended up with a fantastic instrument I will treasure for the rest of my days. Mike is the coolest man to ever sling a chisel!”

“When my nephew asked me to recreate an impossible-to-acquire vintage telecaster, I knew there was only one place I could go for help: to Michael and the other good folks at H.T Wentz Luthiers. Not only did they take my crazy project seriously, they helped me every step of the way, from neck and body to finish to electronics (even a custom control plate).
Thanks Michael for helping me make the snakehead telecaster I never thought I could make — I had a great time doing it! “

“I’m so glad I took this course! Mike is an excellent teacher with a keen eye for detail. The things he taught me we incredibly valuable. Even more importantly, he kept me from making a dozen mistakes that would have scrapped the project if I’d attempted to do my first telecaster build from scratch by myself. He really knows his stuff, and his ability to quickly adapt kept me on track.”
