Other back and side woods like Brazilian rosewood, Honduras rosewood, and African blackwood are usually available for an additional cost. I would be happy to discuss the merits of each of these woods by phone or e-mail.

I try to take the stress out of ordering a guitar. A $75 down payment secures your place on the waiting list and also covers the shipping to you anywhere in the Continental U.S. Before the guitar is shipped, the entire purchase price is to be paid. After the guitar arrives, I extend a one-week trial period to make sure the guitar is everything you had hoped for. If it is, I send a bill of sale. If it is not a good fit with you or your technique, I will refund the purchase price upon undamaged return of the guitar. Return shipping is at your expense. If the guitar is damaged while in your posession, the cost of the repairs is deducted from the purchase price.
