My
La Crema twelve-string
shown here was made from solid Indian rosewood, Honduras
mahogany and curly maple with an Engleman spruce top. This guitar
was constructed especially for a client who wanted additional
bass strings. The result was a striking instrument, well balanced,
with a wide range of timbres and an effortless action.
Options
and Ordering:
Woods:
Any guitar can be made of the back and side woods listed on this
site. Occasionally wood is available from sequential cuts on the
same tree, so two guitars can be made almost identical in appearance.
Prices are based on the market price for the woods at the time
the order is placed. Normally only Brazilian rosewood, curly Koa
and some select, very figured woods will incur an additional price.
Please feel free to inquire
here.
Scale lengths:
640, 650, or 660mm are available at no extra charge. Inquire if
you need a special scale length.
Fingerboard markers: Available in fine pearl in your choice
of positions for an additional $10 per marker.
Fret
wire: Both high and low fret wire is available at no extra
cost.
Finishes:
The standard finish is French
polish for the top, with quality lacquer for the back
and sides. All-French polish is available for an additional $350.
All-lacquer finish including a very fine, thinly applied lacquer
to the top is available at no extra cost.
Bridge:
Bridges are available in Brazilian rosewood or Ceylon ebony at
the standard price, no extra charge.
Extra strings:
Additional strings on the instrument, beyond the standard 6 and
up to a total of 12, are available for an additional 15% of the
base price of the finished guitar per string.
Tuners:
Quality Schaller gold Hauser tuners are standard. Upgrade to other
tuners is at the market price for the tuners. Feel free to supply
your own tuners if you want something special.
Rosette/Purfling:
Beside the standard rosette, many styles are available. Custom
rosette design services are also available. Many variations from
the standard formal black/white purfling are available. Please
inquire.
Cases:
Hard shell case or padded travel bag are standard. Many cases
are available for additional cost, or you can supply your own
and receive a modest credit.
A
$250 nonrefundable deposit secures your order, and at that
time all of the specifications of the guitar are agreed upon as
well as the currency or exchange rate. This way there are no surprises
for either party. For custom orders the total amount of the upgrades
are added to the deposit. The balance is due at delivery. Delivery
at the shop is encouraged.
