To start the build, a 50% deposit is necessary. The remaining balance, along with any relevant shipping fees or taxes, is due when your guitar is finished.
Our instruments typically take 4 to 6 months to be built, depending on complexity and our waiting list. Each step is approached with meticulous care. For instance, a 40-day drying process and over 10 hours of manual polishing ensure a flawless finish. Your patience is a testament to the dedication we put into each instrument. If you have questions, feel free to reach out for more details.
Yes, all our instruments are crafted by us in our small workshop. We choose a limited, small-scale production to ensure a personal touch and maintain quality.
