Ordering
How to buy:
Ordering a bespoke acoustic guitar is a very special and personal experience.
All Kobler Guitar builds start with a series of conversations to discuss the details and specifications of your guitar.
It is important for me to get to know your needs, wishes and your playing style. Based on these informations we are going to decide on the body shape, the different tonewoods and everything else that is possible.
You are very welcome to meet me in my shop, but I can also correspond by phone or email.
When you order a guitar I ask for a 500 € deposit. This secures your place on the waiting list and also locks in the current base price. The deposit covers the initial expenses such as materials for your guitar and is non-refundable. The remaining balance is due before delivery of the guitar.
My final slots for 2026 have been filled, but I am happy to take bookings for 2027. Get in touch for more information, pricing and to book your slot!
Warranty:
All my guitars come with a 5 year warranty and I offer a complementary service within the first year. (and as long as I am active as a luthier) This warranty only applies to the first owner and can be used for damages caused by defects caused by wrongful workmanship, but it excludes all damages caused by wrongful use of the instrument (bumps, heat, cold, humidity, dryness, hits,…)
Humidity:
My workshop’s relative humidity is between 40-45% during the building process.
It is of great importance that the humidity is controlled even after the guitar is delivered.
Pricing:
All models start at a base price of € 4.900.
