Let's talk.  We would like to understand who you are as a musician, what you hope to achieve, is there a purpose behind pursuing a custom build?

Is there a story you would like to weave into the guitar?  Perhaps, incorporating a special detail in the build?

We identify the specific needs you may have with respect to body shape, style of play; fingerstyle, flat picking, amplification, studio work, busking, playing at parties or just playing at home.  Perhaps, a wider finger board at the nut is your requirement.

You may have a strong sense of the tone woods you would like to use or you may want us to advise and recommend what might be a great fit for you based on tone and aesthetic appeal.
Perhaps, you lived in Africa and would like to incorporate natural tone woods from the region?
At this point, we document the detail in all aspect of the design, including the type of finish you would like on the guitar.

Up to this point, the process is designed to add value and get to know your requirements. 
There is no cost.

If you choose to go ahead, based on the quote, we book you into the schedule which is currently running at a 6 month waiting list.

We do not ask for a deposit.  We are so convinced you will love the guitar, that you can settle the account on delivery.

Throughout the build process, we document the progress and send you photographs of your guitar at all stages.  During this time, you can call us at any time to discuss the finer details or just to have a chat.

Build durations depend on the final details agreed and the tone woods selected.

As long as you own the guitar, we will support you.  From repairing accidental damage, within reason, to future tweaks, setups.

You become part of the Working Dog Guitar family.
