How about we
get a guitar lesson from a pro and learn about making hand-built instruments -- without leaving home.
Built for two
Ben Simon is known in music circles as much for his hand-built, circuit-bending guitars as for his gift for teaching others how to play.
On this exclusive HowAboutWe date, Ben will give you and your partner a private guitar lesson -- right in your living room. By tailoring the lesson to your experience levels, Ben will make sure newbies and virtuosos alike will have an enriching musical experience. Along with a guitar for you to play, Ben will be bringing one of his unique guitars and a six-pack of your favorite beer. After your lesson is over, kick back and enjoy the show.
One of a kind
Ben’s Guitar2D2 has 70 buttons, 10 dials, and weighs 19 pounds.

Made with love
Made by hand, Ben Simon’s guitars can take upwards of two months to build.
Ben got his start as a luthier after taking a job in a custom woodworking shop in 2005. After hours, Ben would work on his instruments at the shop, teaching himself as he went along. Several years later, Ben’s guitars have been exhibited in galleries and have received critical attention for their craftsmanship and artistry.
