Cumpiano "In-The-White" Guitars

I've accumulated a variety of beautiful Cumpiano instruments that are completed and playable, but have yet to be finished. They will eventually be finished and added to inventory at a indeterminate time in the future, but you can commission a specific one of them ahead of time, and it can be finished and delivered to you. These instruments (which I made while teaching) can be commissioned at a price usually $1-2000 below what it would cost to custom-make a similar one. Another advantage is that the waiting time for delivery is only 1-2 months rather than the current 10-14 for custom-made instruments.

There are more in-the-white classic guitars available in my shop than those illustrated here. I will be updating this page frequently with recent work and new arrivals.

You can see other Cumpiano classic guitars that were made expressly for their owners here.

After taking it home, owner Michael Griffin (owner of Luthier's Care Violin Shop and Bassist for the Rochester
Philharmonic Orchestra) commented:

I was up 'til midnight playing the guitar, and I'm VERY happy with it. It has everything that I wanted in a
guitar. I especially like the box size, it fits me well. The sound is live and vital in all registers, and I think
it's already making a better player of me! Thank you.
