I make several different models of acoustic instruments including the new "turn of the century" Bay State models. For information on the Bay State models go here. All instruments are made with the finest quality wood choices and options as specified below. To see those models click here. Call me at (781) 361-1471 for a price quote on your wood and materials choices. I can usually accommodate your wishes at a price that is within your budget. Call for a quote.
Why are you considering a Wells custom made instrument? I would hope it is because my guitars incorporate many unique features. For an explanation of the differences in my guitars versus other fine instruments just click here.
Please remember that I build a very limited number of handcrafted instruments each year. Feel free to contact me directly at (781) 361-1471 so that we can discuss the details of "your" instrument and meet "your" requirements.
Once we arrive at the specifications of your ideal instrument I will "lock" your position in the queue. NO DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED! Payment, in full, is due prior to shipping or delivery of the completed instrument.
I have a 10 day return policy on all non-personalized instruments. I want you completely satisfied with your instrument! If, for any reason, you are not totally satisfied with your Wells instrument, a full refund including your shipping costs, will be made upon safe return of the undamaged instrument.
No legalese here! My warranty to you is essentially unconditional as to defects in materials and workmanship.
