Wingert, Kathy
Guitar Craft

Soon after she began designing guitars in the mid-90s, Kathy Wingert attended a guitar-making class at Orange Coast College where she studied the techniques of renowned classical builder Bob Mattingly, followed by an apprenticeship with violin maker Jon Peterson at the World of Strings in Long Beach, California. By 2001, a growing client waiting list led her to establish her own shop, where she builds custom instruments for discerning customers who appreciate her passion for the beauty of the guitar coupled with skill in finding each guitar’s individual voice. The bulk of Kathy's work has been in creating steel-string acoustic guitars for fingerstyle play, with harp guitars, nylon stringed guitars, bouzoukis, ukuleles, classical guitars and occasional electric guitars rounding out the list. In the Guitar Craft program, Kathy is passing on her addicti.... er, passion to students in the Acoustic Guitar Design emphasis.
