No, I do not build copies, replicas, or fully custom designs. I have a catalog of my own body and headstock designs; however, I am open to revising those designs to give your guitar a unique feel and fit for you. Some examples include adjustments to arm rests, alterations to bevels, and deeper cutaways.
How long does a guitar build take?
It takes me about 6 months to complete a group of 4 guitars. Expect to wait 6-12 months once you pay the deposit. I will inform you of the approximate wait time before we proceed with the deposit.
