Let's Talk...

If you'd like to discuss ordering a guitar from me, please call or email me using the contact information in the title bar above. I will respond within a day.

My terms are reasonable. Once we have nailed down a specification for your guitar, including the exact woods (back/sides, soundboard, rosette, bindings, purflings, bridge, neck, fingerboard, headstock, inlay, etc.), hardware (tuners, strings, nut, saddle, electronics, strap fittings, case, etc.), style (OM, OOO, D, MJ, SJ, resonator, classical, etc.), finish, and player ergonomics (string spacing, action, neck shape, etc.), then I will give you a provisional date for when I expect to start work on your guitar. Quality cannot be rushed, so expect your guitar to take about 3 months to complete from the start date. I make guitars in the order which they were ordered - no exceptions. I expect a 50% payment when I start work on your guitar. I will provide regular updates (in the form of an website build log with lots of photographs). I expect full payment of the other 50% prior to shipping your guitar to you. I can only accept PayPal and personal checks. I will require a waiting period of up to 30 days to ensure the payments clear appropriately. Upon receipt of your guitar, you have 7 days to decide if you like it or not. If, for some unearthly reason, you don't, then, if the guitar has no personalization on it (such as inlayed initials) you can send it back to me (undamaged, in pristine condition, of course) for a full refund of the price of the guitar (less shipping costs of course). If the guitar was personalized, a reduced refund (depending on the cost of necessary changes to make the guitar saleable) will apply. I will warranty your guitar for 10 years (or until I pop off, should that be sooner!) from the date you first strum it, for all material and/or workmanship defects, but not for any damage due to physical impact, foreign liquids, incorrect strings, and extreme environmental stress (high/low temperature or humidity). Remember, never leave your instrument in a car, not even for a short while!

Hope to hear from you soon!

Cheers,
