The PREORDER is here!
Orders are being taken now for the first production model, a deluxe edition crafted in a small initial run of just 10 instruments.
There's also a guitar version, which I strongly recommend you consider as well. They may look the same, but they're vastly different in playing and creative approaches.
Here are the details for those wanting to jump in on the initial run. This deal will likely never exist again:
- $897 for Golden Circle Members only
- That's 35% OFF the future list price of $1,297 (that's cost y'all **)
- Deluxe, crafted luthier finished
- A handmade plush travel bag
- Leather D'addario strap
- Upgraded strap button
- Extra set of Stringjoy strings
- Wall hanger (gotta display it!)
- Addition to the Golden Circle Members page, forever and ever
- All current and future digital downloads
- Money-back guarantee (pre-order only)
- Free shipping (in US, international, we'll find a reduction)
- Undying love and affection
Payment is upfront because I need to fund the initial run upfront.
Those in this batch of supporters will receive weekly/bi-weekly updates from me personally, and have direct access to me to ask questions along the way.

Delivery is expected to be under 6 months, but I'm putting the expectation at 6, just to be safe.
But to offer a little comfort, I'm offering a money-back guarantee. You get cold feet before delivery, I'll refund the money, not questions asked.
The Specs
As noted before these will be the deluxe model, as it'll take Nick's skilled luthier hands to build and complete them. These really are deluxe in every way, on par with Taylor and Martin guitars (if you're familiar), and I think you'll be over the moon excited about them. Features not available until now:
- Carved bone nut
- Carved bone bridge
- Compensated bridge saddle
- High precision, vintage-style tuners
- Reinforced interior bracing
- Improved intonation (plays in tune, every note)
- Professional fret job (no buzzing or sharp ends)
- Medium gloss poly finish
** Just want to reiterate, I will make no money on this order. It's purely that the cost of Nick's expertise, quality wood and parts, and accessories are just so high. I know it's crazy, and perhaps you won't believe me, but it's true. I want to get these in the hands of some committed Golden Circle Members who can tell me what you think. Give me feedback. And let me know that they really are instruments people will buy and love. So I will never offer this again (because my wife will probably shut the business down if I do. Seriously.).
*** Golden CIrcle Members are you. I've named you all this because you've stuck with me for so long. If you want to be a part of the ongoing building of an instrument and company, now's the chance to be immortalized on the site (and my heart ;-)
