Is it not strange that sheep’s guts should hale souls out of men’s bodies? ~ William Shakespeare
I make a limited number of instruments each year and as such, the waiting period for a new instrument is approximately nine months. The current base price is $5000, which includes Waverly tuners and a high quality hardshell case.
There are many wood options and custom modifications available in addition to those mentioned in the Guitars chapter. Please contact me to discuss finish options, cutaways, custom rosettes and other inlay possibilities, as well as tone, volume, and timbre and what options, including wood choices, we may incorporate in your instrument to achieve both the aesthetic and musical qualities you are looking for. Instruments of Brazilian Rosewood and African Blackwood will incur an additional $500 charge which will be donated to support responsible forest management. All custom options including tuners, cases, custom work, and electronics will be priced additionally at the time of order. That price will be locked in, and an estimated date of completion given, once a $500 non-refundable deposit has been received. Balance is due before the instrument can be shipped.
