A few polices: A refundable deposit of $500 holds a place on my build list. The deposit becomes nonrefundable when the build begins or when I have purchased special materials, such as a particular wood set or tuners.  I accept payment only through PayPal. If there is a charge for a payment, it will be paid by the buyer. Insurance is required for all shipments unless the buyer accepts full risk of loss. Shipments outside the US will be via US Postal Service.
