Having a guitar built on contract is pretty much the best route to getting an instrument that is just exactly what you want. It does take a little more time, and a considerable amount of communication. This is done on a one
to one basis between Luthier and Client. Depending on scheduling needs,
there may or may not be a waiting period for this - But contact us, as
we may be able to start right away.

| The pricing for these are dependent upon the cost of materials, and the work involved. Generally an all walnut body, with figured or curly material on the face half of the body, and the usual details seen on the FS-1 model, semi hollow and finished in tung oil is $400 to $450 depending on the grade of material. Many things factor into this - a solid body version will cost $50 less. Adding specialized hardware requires more work, and the hardware must be present for the work to proceed. The pricing above is for the body alone - if the instrument is assembled and wired with us, it's more. The charge to wire a guitar is $30 - Assembly and setup is $100. When this work is done here, all minor adjustments and setup are done to precise standards, and your guitar comes to you ready to play. These details and choices are left up to you, as it is Your guitar. Call or email directly, and you may be surprised at how reasonable it is to have us build your ultimate guitar. |
| A 50% deposit and all hardware that is to be installed is required - then the remaining 50% and shipping costs are due upon shipment. Your hardware is treated with professional respect, and comes back to you as arranged. We have done this for many clients here in the USA and many in Europe and the UK, and never missed a beat. Your business is welcome and appreciated. |
