In order to better understand your request, avoid misunderstandings with my clients and avoid too far-fetched projects that would not be in accordance with my ideas of ageing, I have decided to put together a list of information necessary and essential for the successful completion of your project.

 

Much of the information below is already on my website

 

Following receipt of these elements, I will decide whether or not to follow up on your project.

 

Know that what is most important to me is to achieve a realistic relic, requests that disagree with my convictions cannot be accepted.

 

The price (which is fixed) for a complete instrument is 700 euros (return shipping costs at your expense).

This price increases to 400 euros for only a body or a neck

 

**********

 

Please give me this information with as much detail as possible:

 

- Last name First Name

- Address

- Phone number

- Model of your guitar: (after many unpleasant surprises when stripping, I no longer accept certain models)

- Year of your instrument

- Desired color

- Desired relic process : SOFT - MEDIUM - HARD

(Example / photos see my website in the « price » or "Guitars" section to give you an idea, knowing that my work is artisanal, so each model will be different and the ageing is not a copy paste, you don't know doubt!)

 

- Cracks: YES - NO

(Example / photos see on my website in the "guitars" section: the cracks are a random technique, so they will not be exactly as in the photos, I cannot master this natural process exactly, each model cracks differently!)

 

Know that for the relicage to be in line with my convictions and my perfectionist realism, it seems essential to me that UV traces appear under the hardware (for Gibson as for Fender)

 

- FADING OF THE COLOR: very faded or softy faded

(Example on the different models already made on my site)

 

**********

 

I am a craftsman and my work cannot be a copy of a guitar,

I also consider that if you entrust me with your instrument, you have been sufficiently attentive to my work and convinced of it.

 

When a request is validated by myself and by the client, for the respect of my work, you will be able to have work news during the months necessary for the realization of your request, but I will no longer send photos to each of these steps (for lack of time!), I will only send you the photos of the finished instrument

 

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES do I accept last minute changes (with many instruments in my workshop, you will agree that in order to meet everyone's deadline I can't change everything along the way!). I will respect all requests expressed by e-mail

 

Last thing very important to me: Your instrument is the result of a long work of craftsman.

Each guitar without exception (complete or only body or neck) will be stamped with my signature mark (behind the heads for the necks and in a cavity for the bodies) This is a sine qua non condition including on the oldest models.

 

Do not hesitate to add comments, requests or additional information to your e-mail.

Of course, I am also available by phone if needed.

 

If your request is validated, I will send you in return a complete estimate, summarizing all your requests that I will ask you to sign to validate the start of the work. The result will be sent to you between 5 and 6 months after receipt of your instrument.

 

Thank you for your trust and cooperation.
