Little Guitar Works

Order

Most of our instruments are built to order and sold direct. The first step in placing an order is to contact us.

The next step is to establish your order. This means settling on the overall design and details of your instrument. The more you know about what you want, the quicker and easier this process is.

Once your order is established we can give you a firm price quote and an estimated time frame for delivery. A non-refundable 15% deposit puts your order on our build list and we will begin construction. Payments can be made anytime during the construction process (via check, money order, credit card, paypal, or wire transfer), with the balance due in full by the scheduled completion date, or when the bass is ready to ship.

Options

A note about wood selection: A wide variety of woods are available for your instrument. Most standard wood choices are included in the base price, however highly figured or prized woods may require an added charge. Many good articles, opinions, and discussions of wood selection and the tonal and structural qualities of different species can be found on the Internet. One such article we recommend was written by Kasra Saboktakin and can be found here.

Prices are subject to change without notice, but no project will begin without first having a firm quote on the price, and agreement to pay. Please see our Order section above or more information on the ordering process.
