Payment

A $600 non-refundable deposit locks in your order at the current prices and secures a spot in the building schedule. On receipt of your deposit, an invoice will sent to you for your records. You do not need to decide on the options and specifications at this point. Before construction begins, we will talk about your order and work towards your wood choices, options and specifications. As part of this process I will send you pictures of available tonewoods which you may reserve for your guitar. Guitars with custom options or woods may require a larger initial deposit.

50% of the balance is due when construction of your guitar begins (you will receive notice 30 days prior to your guitar's construction date). During the building process I will create a private on-line photo album so you can watch the progress of your guitar. Typically, once a week I add more pictures for you to look at. At anytime you are encouraged to ask questions or share comments. The full balance is due upon completion and prior to shipment. The current delivery time on new orders is 24 months.

Your guitar will be shipped FED EX air. Prices do not include shipping and local or international taxes.

Warranty

All Bashkin guitars have a limited lifetime warranty to the original owner. You have 3 days to evaluate the instrument. If you are not satisfied with your guitar you may return it, provided the instrument is returned in new condition, a full refund, minus shipping charges, will be issued once the guitar has been sold. Guitars with custom inlay or design options may not be included.
