A Note From Mike:

"Please check out Ian Schneller's Chicago School of Guitar Making, a wonderful school whose mission is to provide a solid foundation upon which students from all over the world can commence their luthiery studies, with lectures, demonstrations and hands-on work. Since its debut in 2005, thousands of students have taken classes at the school. The number of new Specimens quickly grew and now Ian has made more than 800 instruments, amps and horn speakers all by hand in his Chicago workshop. 2025 marks Specimen’s 39th anniversary!"
