Much more love and care will go in to your hand built guitar, unlike buying a custom guitar from a shop where it has been mass produced on a daily basis on a big scale with no real setup.
We come to you and supply all tools and equipment.
The guitar will be setup to suit your playing type and to the gauge of string you feel most comfortable with.
You get a fully trained Luthier for the day.
No need to do months in a guitar college to learn guitar building and full setup's.
