I love that my Premium Guitar has high quality features that should satisfy most people. If there are specific things you have in mind beyond this, consider some of my Master Grade options. There is added cost, and in return, there is added value in the playability and visual appeal. Please inquire about any of these features listed below if you are interested, and if there is something you don’t see, please ask me about it.

CUTAWAY
Adding a Venetian cutaway to the body allows for unfettered access to the upper frets and adds graceful curves to the body shape. If you regularly play above fret 12 or 14, you might consider this upgrade. Add $500.

MOTHER OF PEARL OR ABALONE ACCENTS
Mother of pearl or abalone is a material that can be added to your guitar and give it a flashy look. Typically it’s used in rosettes and in combination with the binding/purfling scheme. Add $180 for a single rosette ring. Add $900 for a border around the soundboard.

CUSTOM INLAYS
Let your imagination run wild as we dream up the beautiful design elements marquetry can add. Added cost is dependent on design.
FRETBOARD
To add more visual distinction, custom binding can be substituted for the Premium binding on the fretboard, or both custom binding and purfling can be created. If you want something less common for the fret position markers, we can work together and come up with a design that can add a personal touch to your guitar. Added cost is dependent on design.
ELECTRIC PICK-UP
If you feel the need for speed, various amplification options can be added.
