Each year the Artisan Guitar Show closes its magical weekend by giving some lucky attendee a beautiful, handcrafted guitar. No purchase is necessary to be entered as a participant, but the winner of the door prize must be present to win. For 2026, we have partnered with Northampton Community College to build our annual giveaway guitar.
Northampton Community College (NCC), located in Bethlehem, PA, is the home of the Martin Guitar Foundation Luthier Lab which offers a four-month journey for aspiring luthiers. NCC’s Luthier Program is a full-time program with class times from 9am to 5pm Monday through Friday.
The Luthier Program goes beyond the art of building guitars, integrating essential elements such as brand strategy, business development, OSHA training, and leadership development to ensure a well-rounded education for aspiring luthiers. Students construct acoustic and electric guitars and learn essential technical skills to create unique handcrafted instruments. Expert instructors guide students through traditional and modern technologies, from basic woodworking to custom-designed bodies, and ensure each student emerges with the skills to create instruments of exceptional quality and sound.
The 2026 door prize guitar was planned to showcase the support of industry partners and luthier collaboration. Stew-Mac provided a basic Madagascar rosewood kit to NCC, which students and instructors built the instrument and added pearl to the top and traditional tree of life inlays.
Please join us in the Artisan Guitar Show concert venue on Sunday, April 12, 2026, at 3:00 PM for your chance to win.
