For those of you requiring higher quality tuners, I usually now recommend models from the Alessi range and the additional cost would depend upon the type chosen.

For Rio Rosewood add £400.00

For 20th fret add £50.00

Aranjuez Model

By reference to the above options, it can be seen that for me to recreate the Aranjuez competition model, the total cost would amount to approximately £3,000.00

Flamenco Guitar ~ from £1900.00

Plain Maple back and sides and very lightly built ~ otherwise as Concert Guitar £1900.00

Golpeodores fitted (clear, white and black available)

Genuine Cypress back and sides add £50.00

Traditional wooden tuning peghead add £50.00
My traditional peghead design is uniquely arranged so that conversion to machine heads can be perfectly completed at a later date, if required.

Other Models and Options

The advantage of having a custom handmade guitar is that I can follow your personal specifications. As mentioned above, I can usually make any model in a left-handed version. I relish the challenge of building a true bespoke guitar and although many examples of styles and pricing are provided above, any individual guitar will attract it's own price structure and overall cost. We can even discuss the design for a guitar built to a particular budget.
