74%
31.8/ 100
1 Share of the guitar maker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the keyboard musical instrument maker profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A guitar maker role treats 14 of its required skills as things a keyboard musical instrument maker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- apply a protective layer
- assemble musical instrument parts
- create musical instrument parts
- create smooth wood surface
- decorate musical instruments
- join wood elements
What stands in the way is 7 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 35 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A guitar maker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a keyboard musical instrument maker background worth leading with.
- already held tuning techniques arts and humanities
- already held assemble musical instrument parts handling and moving
- already held create musical instrument parts handling and moving
- already held musical instruments materials arts and humanities
- already held design musical instruments communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held musical instrument accessories arts and humanities
All 35 carried skills, including the 14 the guitar maker role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 8 missing skills fall into 5 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.
- required, not held types of guitars required
- required, not held types of strings required
- required, not held types of wood required
- required, not held wood cuts required
- required, not held make bowstrings required
- required, not held produce guitar components required

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a guitar maker role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 make bowstrings skill · sector specific
- 02 produce guitar components skill · sector specific
- 03 types of guitars knowledge · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
