Options:
My guitars are 100% handmade, so I am flexible about specific options and custom orders:
Choice of Wood, many possible inlay options, cutaway, amplification systems, combined finishing, custom neck profiles, variety of length scale, special tuners, special cases, special pickups and circuit diagrams; 7, 8 (or other) string configurations; etc. Any concerns or proposals will be welcomed since the final goal is that the guitar can make us both proud.
