Things to consider before ordering a custom build:

​

When you decide to order a custom build from scratch you are choosing your way to an instrument where almost everything is possible. It’s advisable to cover all the important aspects of your preference, regarding your playing style, desired sound and shape, in order to receive exactly what you dreamed off when finished.

​

Here we show you some of the most important aspects to consider, don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questing about any one of them or other.

Design:

Choose the design of the instrument defining every detail of the construction.

Scale – ex.(25’’ 25,5’’ 34’’etc...)
 

Pickups – how many, type and chape  ex. (Single coils,

Humbuckers, P90 etc...)
 

Number of strings – ex.(4, 5, 6, 7)
 

Neck Join – Set neck,  neck trough, screwed neck
 

Pickguard – yes or no, plastic, leather etc...

Electrics:

There are several possibilities in order to take advantage of the electric components used. I all depends of your personal taste.

Ex. Active or passive Pickups, number of pots, volume and tone, switch etc.

Hardware:

That’s one of the most important things and will play an important role in the overall quality of the guitar and its shape. The hardware will influence things like headstock shape or neck angle, as well as the tone. I mostly use Schaller hardware in my builds because of its excellence service and quality, but I will use any other brand on costumer request.

​

Tuners, bridge, String trees (if necessary), Neck screws (if necessary), Strap locks, frets (médium, Jumbo, or other)

Choosing the wood:

You will have to define what species to use on the body, neck, fingerboard,  headstock and top (if necessary) considering your preferences on esthetics weight and others

Finish:

The finish defines a lot of the esthetics and protection of the instrument. We use mostly special oil finishes leaving the natural wood character showing. Thats of course my personal preference, but anything is possible and you decide what suits your taste better

Oil finishes, stains with several colors and nuances, clear coats with 2k clears etc...

Others:

Other important things to consider that will play a role on the end result

 Bindings, inlays, Pictures, nut (bone, Grafite, metal)
