A guitar maker must be proficient in woodworking, since that's mainly what's involved in making Guitars. There are several tools you need to know how to use, and you'll need to know all the components that go into a guitar, and how to properly assemble them, and if you run your own shop, you'll need a fair amount of business sense as well. Add to that the necessity of having the patience of Job for some of the fine points of the job, and an acceptance of the fact that job satisfaction is going to be a large part of your "salary". Luthiers can make a decent living, but you won't get rich from it.

you need not only the love and comitment to playing but you need to be able to read the music on the sheets while you are playing the guitar. you need to understand the beats and the notes and you need to know which fret and string to play and at what time. it will take about 6-7 years to learn to play and you need alot of practice. that's why most arstist start when they are in the younger years.
