CUSTOM OPTIONS One of the advantages of ordering from a small shop like ours is that you can pretty much "build" your guitar any way you want. To illustrate this, I have put together a list of the different elements of a guitar which can be modified at the customers request. While I have never actually put together a "spec sheet" like this (before now), these are all elements which I discuss with any potential customer. If a feature is highlighted it is a link to a page with a photo and some description. Structural Elements: Body Size: (Dreadnought, Concert, Parlor, Concert 12 fret, Slope D, Piccolo, Custom) Top Wood: (Sitka, Englemann, German, Cedar) Back and Sides Wood: (Mahogany, Koa, Walnut, Maple, Indian Rosewood, Brazilian Rosewood, Ziracote, Ebony, Others) From time to time I will post photos of several wood choices for an out of town customer (such as differient pieces of koa.) For this, go here: Back Design: (Two or three Piece) Cutaway: Soft (Venetian) or pointed (Florentine)) Scale Length: (24.75", 25.4"; Custom) Extra frets Fingerboard Width: (1 11/16 standard, 1 3/4, 1 13/16, 1 7/8) Neck Profile Right/Left Handed Decorative Elements: Rosette (Pearl, Herringbone, Other) Top Purfling (Plain, Herringbone, Pearl, Other) Back Center Strip (Herringbone, Pearl, Other) Back Purfling Side Purfling Binding (Wood [many varieties], Plastic [many varieties]) Peghead Shape (Flat - two shapes; Slotted) Peghead Overlay (Wood - many Species; Tortoise Plastic) Peghead Binding Peghead Inlay Fingerboard Binding Fingerboard Wood: (Ebony, Rosewood, other) Bridge Shape (Belly Bridge; Pyramid Bridge) Bridge Inlay Bridge Pins (Ebony, Ebony w/ MOP, Rosewood, Rosewood w/ MOP, Plastic, Bone, Other) End Wedge: (Wood [many varieties], plastic [many varieties]) Heel Cap: (Different woods, inlay, etc) Finish (Clear, Sunburst, Colors, Gloss, Satin.)
