Made-to-order Hand-Crafted Classical Guitar by Boss Gitarre

Hand made in our guitar shop, the building time for this guitar is 30 days.

This is a classical guitar from the Hauser plans that we build to order.  It is the model Hauser made for Segovia during the 1930's.  I build it exactly to plan with not improvements. The basic all-solid guitar has a Sitka spruce or cedar top, rosewood sides and back, ebony fretboard, Nitrocellulose finish, Gotoh tuners, Spanish style rosette, 5 spruce fan  braces, Spanish heel neck, bone nut and saddle, mahogany neck, wood binding and Spanish style bridge.  I hand thickness the soundboard to the same dimensions used by Hauser. French polishing is available at an additional cost. My hand-crafted guitars are made one at a time and using old world craftsmanship and care. No two are exactly alike.

A lot of people wonder why hand-made guitars are so expensive. In reality, it takes between 110-120 hours to build a guitar and finish it.  Deduct the cost of materials and the per-hour income from selling one guitar at around $3,000 is pretty dismal. Most people don't realize that as a guitar dealer I can buy a terrific sounding and well finished guitar from China for less than it would cost me for just the materials stateside. We have become a country of buyers that make nothing of their own. I make guitars for people not to get rich but because I enjoy making guitars!

A quick word about our store:

I have been buying, fixing and selling guitars, banjos and mandolins on E-Bay for over 10 years.  I have a complete repair shop which is part of my retail shop "Hot Strings Guitar Shop" in Milford, CT.  A member of the Guild of American Luthiers, I also produce and sell DVDs on various aspects of guitar and banjo building and repairs. I have produced over 18 DVDs the are sold on E-Bay, Amazon dot com and by Elderly Instruments. Additionally I run a guitar building school with both day and night classes. Well aware of the frightful possibilities that crop up when purchasing a used instrument on-line, I strive to make sure any claims I may make about the instruments I sell are true and accurate. (I have bought more turkeys on e-bay than Carter has little liver pills) You can also visit my other E-Bay store, Hot Strings Guitar, and see the DVDs I produce. 

You can view my repair shop in the "About me" section.
