PLEASE NOTE! This Instrument is a conversion made from a GUITAR.

The neck will have a guitar type width, as I do NOT reduce the neck's width.

So if you're accustomed to playing banjo, tenor guitar, mandolin, or any other stringed instrument with a narrower neck, this instrument will have a larger feel to your hand.

We want to work with you in creating an instrument that you will be pleased with, so 

please read the following information.

The details about this preorder:

Each instrument in this listing is “made to order.” That means that, while we have many of the parts on hand, other parts we use are brought in after we determine what your choice of instrument will require (such as color, body type, and hardware). It is simply not feasible for us to keep every possible variation in stock and in sufficient quantity at all times. So, we source some of the parts as needed, thus the lead time that is a part of this listing.

These instruments are a conversion. A conversion is an instrument we create by using special parts of our design and/or by modifying the parts of the original instrument. These instruments are NOT made from raw materials, that is the main reason that they can be offered at this price point. 

We strongly encourage you to contact us prior to ordering due to the fluctuating inventories of the vendors from whom we source the parts. When you contact us, we can check on the current availability of colors and styles you are interested in, before you make your purchase. We will then provide photos to you of what is currently available, so you can decide if you want to proceed with the order.

The photos provided in this listing are intended for reference so you can visualize what your instrument will look like, but bear in mind that the instrument you eventually order MAY (but not always) vary slightly in appearance from the photos in this listing. While the body shape is consistent among the vendors we use, the most common variation we encounter is the shape and color of the pick guard (or there may be no pick guard). Some of the bodies will have binding, others will not. Another less common variation is the pickup arrangement (sometimes a humbucker is installed instead of a single coil pickup & vice versa) We attempt to show those possible variations in the photos, but there may be other variations that we have yet to encounter. 

Again, we will provide photos of what is currently available as we are communicating with you.
