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.
