More than just ordering a guitar.
Ever wanted to have a guitar built just for you, but wanted a bit more than just order one and then have to wait for it to be finished?
You want to be involved from start to finish and see your dream guitar come together?
Then my Custom Guitar Experience is what you are looking for.
Not only the guitar will be a 100% hand built bespoke instrument, but the entire process as well.
I invite you to be part of the build as much as possible and experience every step to create your special guitar.
Regular updates, visits to the workshop and suppliers, a photo album or video of the build are just a few ways to engage you with the project.
It will be a journey to remember.
“Having been able to follow the build process on Youtube, I new exactly what I was getting, and feel more connected to this guitar than any other in my possession.”
The Journey
What to expect when you decide to take the journey towards your custom guitar?
After you contact me we will plan a meeting, in person or via phone, Skype, FaceTime or any other media.
In this meeting we can discuss your ideas for your dream guitar. Anything should be possible as long as the guitar will be playable, comfortable and good looking.
Following this meeting I will send you an initial estimate on the costs for your instrument.
As soon as you decide to continue on your Custom Guitar Experience this is what the journey may look like.
Design phase
Together we start on the design of your guitar in person or via the Internet.
Deside on wood, specifications, hardware, finish, etc.
You will get a design drawing and specification sheet of your guitar
Detailed quotation and planning
After the design phase you receive a detailed quotation.
A detailed planning will be made with an expected start and delivery date.
Sourcing
If you like, and are able to, you can join me on visits to my suppliers to select, for example, the woods for your instrument.
The Build
You are welcome to visit the workshop as much as you like while I'm working on your guitar.
Ideally you visit the workshop at least once for a day to test and feel the neck shape so I can tailor it to your preference.
I will sent you regular photo and video progress updates.
Collection or delivery of the finished instrument.
You are invited to come to the workshop and collect your custom guitar yourself. I can then tweak the set up perfectly to your liking if necessary.
I can deliver your Guitar to you personally. (Unfortunately at this point this is only possible for Dutch customers or after consultation)
Your guitar can be shipped to you. Of course the shipping will be fully insured.
After you receive your guitar you have full warranty on the build and hardware and I will check up on you if your guitar is what you have been expecting.
Get inspired for your custom guitar by visiting the workshop.
