FINAL TOUCHES ON DIY GUITARS Youth artists Raphael, Marc, and Maya put the finishing touches on the custom guitars they built during our recent DIY Guitar Workshop. After assembling their instruments with guidance from staff, participants completed the final stage by painting and personalizing their guitars, celebrating the successful completion of the project through creativity and teamwork. Check out a recap of the workshop and on our SB West YouTube playlist!
YOUTH HELP RESTORE STUDIO GUITARS Following the DIY Guitar Workshop, youth continued building their repair skills by helping restring and restore guitars in the studio. With a generous donation of string supplies from Ernie Ball, Marc and Raphael have been tuning, restringing, and maintaining both studio and personal guitars while gaining hands-on experience in basic instrument care. Jesus, who also participated in the guitar workshop, joined in celebrating the continued impact of the project and the value of caring for shared musical equipment.
