PRICING
Pricing is based solely on the amount of time required to finish a particular design. I have several standard models (shown below) which can be customized to your liking with choice of paint color and certain design details at little or no additional cost. New custom designs are priced on an individual basis.
Any design seen in the gallery is available, even if not listed below. Please contact for pricing.
The prices below include a brand new alder Warmoth body. Other exotic woods may be used, and the difference in the price of the body will be added. If you'd like to provide your own body, deduct $150 from the price. Customer-provided bodies must be completely stripped down to the bare wood.
OPTIONS
All guitars include your choice of a hand-applied finish such as natural clear, stain, opaque colors and distressed metallics. These signature finishes certainly have the look and feel of being hand-applied, with lots of character and subtle "imperfections" that contribute to the vibe of the body. However, if you prefer a high-gloss "factory" finish, I can do it for an additional $50-$200, priced according to complexity and cost of materials.
HOW TO ORDER/ RETURN POLICY
In-stock bodies can be purchased directly from this site. For in-stock bodies, the guitar you see in the pictures is the one you're going to get.
To order a new guitar based on the standard models listed below, or for a completely custom design, please use the contact form.
A $50 deposit is required to start a build from the standard models. Keep in mind that the pictures of the standard models below are for reference only, and your guitar will vary slightly in appearance. You will be sent several pics and a short video of the body for approval before it is shipped. At that point, you may choose not to purchase the guitar and your deposit will be refunded.
For non-resalable bodies (with, for example, your last name carved or a total custom paint job), total payment is required up front and these types of bodies are non-refundable.
For in-stock purchases and standard design orders, you have 10 days to return the body in its original condition, meaning nothing (including necks and hardware) has been mounted to the body and it has not been damaged or altered in any way. You are responsible for return shipping, and will be refunded the original cost minus original shipping charges.
If you need more info, please contact Mike Seta any time.

Faux-sheet metal Strat. All-wood constructions (with aluminum rivets) and faux-metal paint. Sheet metal effect is taken all the way around the guitar—front and back.

PLEASE NOTE: I'm no longer using the large rivets as seen on this guitar. They're too hard to work with.

(The guitar in the pics has a metal flake and sprayed-on poly finish. See OPTIONS above.) These guitar bodies are NON-REFUNDABLE and require full payment up front. However, you will have approval of design before construction begins, and you will shown pics every step of the process from start to finish to guarantee your satisfaction.

PLEASE NOTE: Neck is not included. Pricing is for body only. |
