Options

The following are options and the prices quoted are additional to the Standard Specification price.

 

Left Handed:

 

No extra charge.

 

 

Back and Sides Woods:       

 

There are a large range of back and side tone woods available - as an example take a tour round Bob Cefalu's mouthwatering website. The basis on which I decide if woods are covered by the standard price or any upcharge from there is the cost to me and the difficulty of working with the wood, both in terms of time and the possibility of sets breaking when bending - all of which is factored into my costing and profit calculations.

 

These are some of the "special" back and side sets I currently have available and their cost above the standard price:

 

Madagascan Rosewood - £350.

 

Cocobolo - £150

 

 

Hormigo - £150

 

 

Myrtle - £150
