Process & Policies

  • A refundable deposit of $300 is required to lock your position in my build list.

  • The deposit becomes nonrefundable when the build begins or when I have purchased special materials, such as wood or tuners. This is roughly 1-2 months before I begin building.

  • After your deposit is paid, you start to think about the specs and design choices you would like in more depth. I will reach out 1-2 months before your build begins to discuss details and finalize the design. If we make choices or add features that go beyond the base price the total price quote will be adjusted. Next I will begin to source any materials that I may need.

  • I am solely responsible for sourcing materials for the instrument, your input is welcome but final acquisition is my role.

  • When construction begins 50% of the final cost will be due. The final 50% is due upon completion. Your original deposit will be factored into this cost.
