Ordering
How to buy:
Every guitar is unique and made one by one here in my workshop in Austria. It is a collaboration between the customer and myself from the beginning to the delivery of the guitar once it is finished. Optical and aesthetic details, in addition to diverse measurements and settings, are fashioned according to the customer’s individual preferences.
You are very welcome to meet me in my shop, but I can also correspond by phone or email.
To secure your place on the waitlist, I ask for a €500 ($500) deposit. Please note that this deposit is to cover initial expenses such as materials for your guitar and is non-refundable. The remaining balance is due before delivery of the guitar.
Warranty:
The warranty for my guitars is valid throughout a period of 10 years. (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.
