PRICING
Base price :
This is a standard starting cost per build. It covers the design stage, spec, Standard Hardware componants & shipping. The final spec of the instrument will determin a finished Cost to Build.
Deposits & Final Payment.
After the initial design consultation I require a non-refundable depsoit of 25%-40%. Minimum €500. The actual amount will be determined by the hardware & materials required to start the build.
An additional 25% is required when the guitar is ready for finishing, & any remaining fees when the guitar is completed. If required, an alernate payment schedule can be worked out for your build. Let me know what you need and we can arrange somthing to suit.
Changes to a build spec.
Once the final spec has been determined, you will have a 3 day grace period before the build commences. This is to allow for any last moment changes to your design. Changes made after this period will affect the price and schedule of the build. Minor alterations may not be an issue, but Significant redesign may incur additional fees & time to your build.
Any major changes to the neck or body after they have been made will incur a fee of 75% of the base price for that particular build.
For help with decisions on your guitars specification, I have included a list of typical options below. for additional guidance please read the 'Guitar design factors' section of this site.
