Ordering

Once a model has been selected, we have discussed and agreed upon your requirements and a build/delivery date has been set, an order must be made in writing including a deposit to confirm that order.

For most instruments a non-refundable deposit of $1000.00 is required to confirm your order and secure the next available position in the production schedule. For certain special orders involving special research, elaborate decoration, costly or unusual options, a slightly higher deposit or stage payments may be required.

The balance is payable in full upon completion of the instrument, ready for either collection or delivery.

An order will not be released from the workshop until full payment has been made.

Pricing

All prices are quoted in Canadian Dollars and do not include shipping.

Instrument prices start at $4500.00 and vary depending on model and options. A complete list of instruments and pricing is available upon request.  

Payments by overseas customers can be made by an international bank draft made out in Canadian Dollars or by direct bank transfer. Please contact me for further details.

Prices may be subject to change without notice. However, price quoted at time of a confirmed order will not be affected. The price payable for the instrument upon completion will be the price originally quoted and agreed upon when the order was placed.

Waiting list

My waiting list varies slightly depending on the model, so a delivery date can only be quoted at the time an order is made. At present my wait list is 6 – 8 months depending on the model.

Available instruments

Although most of my guitars are built to order I try to have at least one instrument from each of the models available for sale and to try out.

Take a look at the Showroom page which provides details on guitars that are currently available.

Shipping

Stock instruments, as well as ordered instruments, are shipped on approval for 7 days. For more detailed information please write me and specify the instrument(s) you are interested in.

I am experienced in sending instruments safely to many different countries. If you are unable to collect your guitar in person, delivery can be arranged through a variety of shipping companies.
