Ordering a Custom Instrument
Each custom guitar or ukulele is made by hand and according to the client's specifications. If desired, you can choose to be involved in every step of the design and build process, and will receive an ongoing stream of build photos. The cost varies by the type of instrument and it usually takes 6-8 months to receive delivery. A 50% deposit is required prior to ordering materials, and the balance is due upon customer acceptance (in person or via Skype). Actual shipping cost will be added to the prices below.
