Effective July 2009 Please note that all wood and wood prices are subject to availability and market price. Please call or email for verification.
We are custom guitar builders. To us, that means that we are prepared to tailor the art to the artist. Our clients have diverse tastes and it is our great pleasure to craft guitars to fit each one. We do not have the desire to build ordinary guitars so we want you to help us to design an instrument that is exciting to play and to see. All ideas welcome
Also, see our tonewood collection to select the woods for your project.
Please let us know about you and your playing style. What type of music do you play? Also what is the average seasonal humidity in your area?
This may feel a little like ordering a deli sandwich but we feel it is worth the time for you to receive a guitar that is really suits your tastes. Any of the smaller details that you are unsure about (binding, purfling, end splice, etc.), just leave blank and we can discuss. Or if you like, we can choose the detail materials for you that will make a great looking guitar. In all cases though, our emphasis will be on crafting a guitar that sounds and functions beautifully. |
