If you play acoustic or electric guitar you can purchase instruments online or from a music store and there are many to choose from. All types of guitar are available in various styles and at prices to suit all budgets. If you want something more personal and are looking for custom built guitars there are a few options available and it is advisable to do some research before you order and buy.

When you plan to commission someone to build you a unique guitar it is imperative that you make the correct choices. The guitar will need to sound right for your style and it is worth giving some careful thought to the finish and weight of your instrument. Customized instruments will be fairly costly and you will need it to be made well and comfortable to play.

Many players now opt to design their own instruments and they will have them built to their own design ideas and specifications. Acoustic instruments can be constructed using many exotic woods and can be finished in various styles. You can also have the neck inlays, pick guards and hardware custom made to your own tastes.

If you are getting an electric guitar manufactured you will have even more options to choose from due to the way they are built. Different types of pickup can be fitted and connected to change the sound. Various materials are used to make electric instruments including steel, wood and plastic and precious metals can be used to make the hardware.

When you are searching for a reputable guitar builder it is worth speaking to the professionals in your local guitar store. The people that work in the stores will usually have a lot of contacts and they may recommend a builder that they know. Some major instrument factories will also take custom orders and it may be beneficial to call them to do some research on the options.

Browsing the internet can also produce results and there are many guitar makers that list their services online. Their web sites contain some useful information and you can look at photos of their work. If you need to get in touch you can email or telephone them and there may also be a customer feedback page which is well worth looking at.

When you have found an instrument builder you will need to spend a little time with them to go over your ideas and design. The builder may offer some basic designs that you can work with and they will suggest suitable options for your one off instrument. When you have finalized your design you are given a price for the guitar to be made and the construction can begin.

It is imperative that your new instrument is well looked after and maintained which will ensure it lasts and gives good service. The majority of instrument makers will also offer maintenance services including set ups, repairs and regular checkups. You should also insure the instrument in case it gets lost or damaged in the future.
