Stringed Instrument Makers of Southern California (SIMSCal) was established in November of 2004.
We were formed to promote association among stringed instrument makers (luthiers) in Southern California, to further the understanding of stringed instrument building, and to help improve the instrument-making skills of our members.
We are now teaching classes in hollow-body guitar building. New classes start in January 2008 (see class description).
More About SIMSCal
We have about 25 members consisting of hobbyists and professional instrument builders. Our members build traditional hollow body instruments including flat-top steel string, classical, flamenco and archtop guitars.
Our goal is to not only provide members with meaningful information about lutherie, but also to promote the practice and tradition of lutherie within our local communities.
We encourage those interested to attend any of our meetings. Attendance at meetings is free, however, we ask for a membership donation of $10 per year. This money supports organization activities and provides members with product discounts at both Rockler Woodworking and Woodcraft stores.
