Cumpiano "In-The-White" Guitars: Steel Strings
| I've accumulated a variety of beautiful Cumpiano instruments that are completed and playable, but have yet to be finished. Eventually, they will be finished and added to inventory, 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 approximately $1000 below what it would cost to custom-make a similar one. Another advantage is that the waiting time for delivery is only 60-90 days rather than the current 10-14 months for custom-mades. |
