Tools
Roberto-Venn provides the students with the specialized tools required for
guitar building, as well as most supplies such as glue, sandpaper, and various
solvents. However, students are required to have a kit of personal tools and
supplies. A list of these tools is provided to students before the first day
of class. Most of the required tools are available for purchase from the school
at competitive prices, although students can buy them elsewhere or bring
tools they already have. Questions regarding the suitability of personal
tools can be answered by the R-V staff. The R-V School's current total cost for
the required
tools is about $400 plus tax**. Repair guitar
Roberto-Venn
requires students to have an acoustic and an electric guitar on which they will
perform the required repairs. The
school will supply these repair instruments at the cost of $300.00
plus tax** for both. Most likely these instruments will be Ibanez, which retail
for around $455.00 for the two. We
consider this added cost as a potential investment, in that, the
likelihood of reselling these instrument for more is quite good.
To eliminate the cost of purchasing these, students also have the option of bringing
their own acoustic or electric instruments to do repair work on.
Instrument Materials
The cost of materials used for the two required student instruments can vary
widely depending on wood, hardware, and electronics choices. The cost for
the two required student instruments averages about $1425 plus tax**.
**
Tax (8.3%) will be added to all material purchases.
Note: Roberto-Venn does not accept credit cards
