About New Perspectives Music: Ecoethical Instruments

After a couple decades playing bass for a living, I switched my attention to making instruments from sustainable, reclaimed and locally sourced materials in an eco-conscious way. My work is mostly custom orders and one off builds, mixed with a variety of envelope-pushing experiments in sustainable materials and designs.

But sometimes I just make guitars for the heck of it and list them here! A lot of these are experiments in designs, tooling and concepts I'm developing, so they may be the first and last of their kind or a member of an ever-evolving concept in design. I price them here for less than my custom builds and aim to make gig-ready instruments made eco-consciously, accessible and affordable.

I also make YouTube videos about my work and process, if you like that sort of thing. Many of the instruments listed here you can see get built!

Feel free to reach out here to ask questions and maybe discuss your own custom build?

Be good,
Tim Sway

General Terms

Items must be returned in original, as-shipped condition with all original packaging and no signs of use. Buyer assumes responsibility for all return shipping costs unless the item was not received as described.

Special Conditions

Buying a guitar is a very personal thing. I want all my customers to be happy with my work and will work with you to make it so. Please do not buy the guitar to "try it out" then return it. I'm a small business (just me) and this is very taxing on me - not to mention a glut on the shipping industry and useless waste of fossil fuels. Ask questions before hand! Heck, I'll even Zoom demo it with you.

Make sure to check the return policy on each individual listing as some items may be sold "As-Described" and not eligible for a return.
