Price structure at
the time of retainer
is locked in unless you balk when your time comes.
I cut off new orders
when I
am 2 years behind.
Today, 8/19/2018, I am 11 months behind. |
I make unique
guitars.
There
is no actual "standard" guitar, and these models
listed
here are where
we start our conversation. Even if you order a standard
model, it won't be built exactly like the
one your buddy ordered. This is because I
am going to do
my best to make it to suit you. I am
paying close attention (and taking notes. .
. after I receive your deposit).

| My
Business Methods!
|
Typical guitar features include:
| H. Mahogany/Indian Rosewood/Jatoba back and sides | Wood bindings w/mitered purflings |
| Italian or Adirondack Spruce soundboard | Back center strip matching bindings (quite a few choices) |
| Honduras Mahogany Neck | MOP or Abalone logo/side dots/fingerboard inlays |
| Ebony fingerboard w/Ebony or body matched binding | Choice of Waverly or Schertler or Schaller tuners. |
| Ebony bridge w/inlayed ebony (or other!) pins | Oil
varnish finish (applied by myself) |
| Hide glue construction where possible | Any
case I can get @ cost + 10% |
I do make simpler
guitars (WRX) than the above
described, and they can be significantly
less expensive.

I
have
3 size
categories:
. . . . . .
A great variation of design is available within the size parameters.
"Regulation" for instance, can be a 14 fret or a 12 fret, 14" or 15" width, Martinesque, Jumbo-ish, or Classical!
Not to mention symmetrial or asymmetrical.
Because I work w/o molds and most conventional fixtures, I can offer a much broader design spectrum
than you may be used to!

While my typical guitar will meet most
people's notion of a handmade
guitar,
the next few lines will give you an idea of the possibilities.
