Pricing / Ordering

Currently my any of my base models are $3,150 and my backlog is approximately 12-16 months.

My standard guitar offering is very nicely appointed and far beyond what you would expect in a baseline model. I am fastidious about detail. No guitar leaves my shop unless it looks and plays perfectly. I go to great lengths to sweat the details on every guitar I build – after all a well cared for guitar could easily be enjoyed for 100 years or more, so it is worth the effort to make sure it looks and sounds perfect.

Standard appointments and options include your choice of Master grade Honduran Mahogany or East Indian Rosewood

• Sitka spruce, Lutz spruce, Engelmann spruce or Western Red Cedar top woods
• Adirondack spruce bracing
• Solid or 5 ply Laminated Mahogany neck with double acting truss rod and carbon fiber reinforcements
• Bound finger board and head stock
• Wood bindings and trim
• Abalone or Wood Rosette
• Ebony or Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard
• Plain or "mini dot" fingerboard inlay
• Ebony or Brazilian rosewood bridge
• Bone nut, saddle and bridge pins
• Chrome Waverly tuners with your choice of oval ivorid buttons, or ebony buttons
• High gloss Catalyzed Urethane finish

Placing an order

In order to secure a place on my build schedule I require a non-refundable $500 deposit and an initial specification of the model, options and appointments. Upon receiving these I will issue a letter that confirms the order and locks in the price. At this time I will give you an approximate timeline of when construction will begin and when you may expect the instrument to be completed. Certain unique items may require an additional interim payment when construction begins (such as elaborate inlays).

Guarantee / Warrantee

Each of my guitars is warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship during my working life as a luthier. You must be completely satisfied with your guitar. You will have a 48-hour approval period in which to test-drive your guitar. Should you decide not to keep your guitar you MUST contact me by phone at 614-789-9160 to arrange a return and refund. Provided the instrument is returned in perfect condition, a refund, minus your initial nonrefundable deposit of $500.00 will be issued. Guitars with custom inlay or special design options are refunded upon resale only. The customer must FULLY insure all returns. Any damage resulting from the return shipment is the responsibility of the customer and carrier. I will not refund a guitar that's been damaged in return shipment. This is an issue the customer will need to take up with the carrier.

Shipping

Upon receipt and clearance of your final payment, your guitar will be shipped FedEx Next day. Prices do not include shipping, insurance, taxes or handling charges. Payment can be made by cash, check or money order.
