Pricing
Most of the instruments I build are truly bespoke and unique; each one is hand crafted to your own specifications, and everything is customisable from the obvious such as wood choices and colours, right down to the tiny details such as nut width and even pickup coil wire gauge.
I rarely build instruments “for stock”; (but its always worth asking if I have anything readily available), as once I’ve finished making it, it will go to its new owner. For this reason, its difficult to give an approximation as to what your “dream guitar” will cost, as many factors affect the overall price.
Therefore what follows is an guideline of base prices:
SC/TC or any bolt on neck style electric guitar or bass starting from £2250
LP/Carved Top Set neck electric guitar starting from £2750
Semi Acoustic 335 or Archtop guitars starting from £3000
Acoustic Guitars starting from £3000
