Custom Commissions

Our process for custom guitars:

1. Contact us directly and we will build a quote for your dream guitar.
2. Place your deposit to secure your build and priority in our schedule.
3. We will get in touch directly to finalize your build.
4. We will stay in touch every step of the way, until you're playing your dream guitar.


Some of the basics:

Every Masterli guitar leaves our shop with extremely high standards, including an emphasis on part quality over cost. Like everyone, we do try to keep our costs down, but quality isn't an option to sacrifice. This includes never using nickel frets, we'll always use stainless as a minimum and have extensive experience with others as well. Every guitar neck, regardless of material, will include 2 carbon fiber rods. Overkill? Yes, in most cases the hardwoods used are plenty sufficient in building and maintaining a straight neck without any twist, but this extra step, along with many others, ensure that our guitars will outplay and outlive us all. I suppose we'd leave them out if the entire neck was carbon fiber... Anyway, this isn't a supplement for a two way truss rod, every guitar gets one of these as well. Tempurature and humidity varies around the globe and will affect neck relief and we must be able to adjust on the fly. In the studio or on stage, our guitars are ready.


The Build Experience:

After we finalize your quote, we will procure all of the necessary hardware, components and materials for your build. Afterwards, we'll provide an estimated date of completion. Once we start producing your dream guitar, we will provide status updates at the completion of each process, which may include working images or video of your build as it comes to life. You may also see your build on social media, but you'll likely see your progress beforehand.

We are extremely excited and take great pride in your trust and commitment to our craft and expertise. We're going to make sure your build is exactly, if not better, than what you've envisioned. We have the background, experience and knowledge to build your dream guitar. You're more than welcome to call, message or email, we'll get you in the shop to answer any questions, provide insight, discuss options, changes or upgrades, every step necessary to provide you with the best experience possible.
