Question: |
How can
you sell your guitars for such low prices? |
|
Answer: |
I strive
to create the best guitar possible for the most
reasonable price. I spent 16 years of my life
living in the U.S.A. and have developed
relationships with other Luthiers, wood shops,
guitar manufacturers, hardware vendors and
manufacturers.
I have also spent the best part of the last two
years working with factories and suppliers in
Canada, Asia, Hawaii (yes, its part of the
U.S.A.), South America, and Africa. I have the
ability to make or have made any guitar at very
reasonable prices. I keep my overheads low and
concentrate of pricing my products fairly. |

of Warranty do you offer? |

|
Question: |
How long
does it take to perform a setup? |
|
Answer: |
I
generally spend about 3-4 hours on setting up a
guitar - it is something that you can not rush. |
| |
|
|
Question: |
Do all
your guitars get the pro setup? |
|
Answer: |
YES!! All
my "TC Ellis" production guitars are fully setup
prior to delivery to the new owner. I will not
sell a guitar unless I have set it up
personally. No guitars will go out without my
full attention. I can not stand a poorly set up
guitar - Have you ever gone into a music store
and tried out the "wall of Fenders / Gibson's,
Ibanez etc" ? The term "Cheese Grater" comes to
mind. Only about 1 in 20 guitars are set up well
enough to play from the Factory so when you try
the guitars in the store the "one that fits" is
usually the one guitar that has been set up
properly. |

Question: |
How long does
it take to make a Custom Guitar? |
|
Answer: |
Very
difficult to answer - each guitar is different &
the availability of component parts can be an
issue. I can have certain guitars built in less
than 2 weeks to no longer than a few months. |
| |
|
|
Question: |
What are
my options on a Custom Guitar? |
|
Answer: |
It's up
to you - wood selection, neck scale, pickups -
anything you want. I can even have your name in
Mother of Pearl on the headstock or at the 12th
fret. |
