ORDERING : Ordering a guitar direct first requires a $2,000.00 non-refundable deposit that will place you on my build-list. A larger deposit may be required for some orders to secure certain materials. 50% of the balance is due 30 days prior to my beginning work on your guitar. The balance is due by the completion of the guitar and before it is shipped.
WARRANTY : My instruments have a limited lifetime warranty to their original owner as long as I am in business as a luthier. This warranty does not cover any damage due to extremes in humidity or temperature, alterations or modifications, accidents or improper handling and misuse, and normal wear and tear. The cost of roundtrip shipping for warranty work is the responsibility of the owner.
SHIPPING : After payment has been received in full, the instrument will be shipped to the client via Priority Carrier (such as Fedex or UPS). Care and attention is taken to insure your instrument arrives safely. Customer is responsible for all shipping, handling, insurance, taxes or custom fees. Compliance with import/export regulation (eg CITIES) is the owner’s responsibility.
