Made-to-order Hand-Crafted Boss Gitarre South Western Classical Guitar

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

This is our own South Western style classical guitar that we build to order.  The basic all-solid guitar has a Sitka spruce or cedar top, rosewood sides and back, ebony fretboard, Nitrocellulose finish, Gotoh tuners, classic herringbone purfling, Spanish style rosette, 7 fan arched spruce bracing, , Spanish heel neck,bone nut and saddle, mahogany neck, Cocobolo binding and inlayed Spanish style bridge. 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!

Each order takes 30 days to build and will be shipped upon completion

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 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.
