Acoustic Guitar


Parlor Style Acoustic Guitar
The only guitar I really want to make. Why? Because I love them – everything about them – and building something I don’t love sounds miserable. That’s why.

$7,000 USD Base Price. *Add $1,000 USD for Original Red Rocks Amphitheater Bench- Clearheart Redwood. *Increase for electronics if desired.

2 Payments
@ $3,500

1st is when I agree to build you a guitar, and that’s when I begin. Because there are so many moving parts that go into beginning (blades, glue, wear and tear, wood procurement) this is a non-refundable deposit.

2nd is when the guitar is completed.

Guitar Case Included

*Shipping ~$160. When I order the guitar case, it comes out of the box it shipped in, the guitar is packed, the case is put back into its shipping box, and the instrument is shipped to you. *Unless you wish to pick it up, or I’m going to drop it off, which I love to do.

I have a preference for using Gotoh 510’s 21:1 Ratio in the color style fitting the guitar. If you want something different, we can do that. Machine heads are included in the price.


Ukulele


Mountain Style Tenor Ukulele
What’s so wildly beautiful is that I build ukuleles on an island here in the Yellowstone River in Montana. So rad. Although they are smaller instruments, they are not toys and I put as much love into them as I do the majority of anything I’m working on…If you are going to do something, do it at the highest level you are capapble of tomorrow.

$3,200 USD Base Price. *Add $1,000 USD for Original Red Rocks Amphitheater Bench – Clearheart Redwood (Late 1930’s – 2008) *Increase for electronics if desired.

Bass


3/4 Upright Bass – Probably a no from me. Yes, I know I’ve built several, but it would cost you too much. Just go buy one…

34″ Fretless Violin-esque Bass
I’m far more comfortable building this style of instrument, and this style of bass is a delightful gnarly growling bear of an instrument. Beyond that, they are light-weight, fast playing, take electronics well, and are so fun to play. The sound is incredible, too, and surpisingly massive for the size of the body.

$7,000 USD Base Price. *Add $1,000 USD for Original Red Rocks Amphitheater Bench- Clearheart Redwood. *Increase for electronics if desired.

High quality machine heads only. Preferrably hipshot or equivalent. If you want something different, or specific, we can do that. Machine heads are included in the price.


Other


*Yes, I build all the stringed instruments from fiddle up to 3/4 Upright, but intentionally didn’t include them here. Feel free to ask. Chances are good I’ll be up for making you an instrument of your preference. Thanks! 😊
