How much for one of your 'gregoire' hand built OM acoustic?Current price is $2,850.00 if you want my unique OM styled guitar ( they are a little oversized; can you say "O-M-J !!") with a real nice looking back and sides (I love rosewood and walnut). For this price you get a spalted maple rosette, a deluxe (I picked it myself) spruce top, custom neck (you get to help with the profile). The sound will always be outstanding and the guitar will have true musician playability. Extras are priced individually through negotiation with me - pickups will be at cost plus shop labour, fancy cut-aways and binding - all figured out at the time of order. I may take a little extra time and discuss some of what you think you want, and help you with that, all in the name of practicality. Sound always comes first - its a musical instrument.

How long will it take to make an acoustic for me?When I have no other oders, I can complete your guitar in 3-4 months from the date I get a deposit. I build one guitar at a time. We will agree on the basics of the guitar size and body shape (cut-away?) the wood that is the back and sides and the extras that you want. As the build goes along, I will confirm neck shape and fingerboard wood, as well as little trim detail, after I get a second deposit. And ..... I will always take time to ensure quality sound comes first.

What about pricing on them 'special guitars' or 'sg' model electrics then?Those special guitars are currently priced at $1,750. You get to pick pickups from an agreed source, or a local builder (I have two sets left, they're very nice). You can work with me for finish colour and gloss (I have one candy-apple red burst over maple on the top) the pick-guard style (look on line - you'll know when you see them) and neck shape ("C", "D", "Rounded C"). I have four in stock. Two of them have quilted maple tops and one is finished in candy-apple red burst.

How much for those Stratocaster style guitars?Prices for these vary with the (re) build that you want. When you buy one of these, you will get stuff like a bespoke spalted maple pickguard and maybe a personalized neck profile, very nice pickups, finish type - gloss or matte, and perhaps we can discuss all the other small details. Call to find out what I have ready to (re) build. I will walk you through your order and help you make this an easy process. Contact me

What is your shop rate for general repairs?I can work by the hour if you want to. We will come to an understanding about what I am going to do, and how many hours stuff will take for me to complete, long before I pick up any shovels, files, chisels or pencils. Close to $50 per hour is a good round ball-park number for guitar repairs. For cutting boards and key-chain holders, it is much higher.
