Pricing

In consideration of ever-changing costs on supplies, some prices listed here have been adjusted to reflect recent upgrades, some have been lowered where possible, and some have stayed the same. While I strive to give customers the best value I possibly can in every custom Wyn bass guitar I make, I won’t compromise or cut corners on materials.

How to Order

If you’re interested in ordering a custom Wyn bass, please refer to the list of standard features as well as the various options to arrive at a ball park idea of what you’re interested in. Also it’s helpful to refer to the Wood section of this site for photographs, descriptions and tone characteristics for the many exotic hardwoods I use. Then contact me. I’m happy to brainstorm the many possibilities to help you arrive at a bass that’s exactly right for you. (I love that part of the process!)

 

Terms of Sale

Custom guitar pricing will be based on the standard models, adding credits and/or charges where applicable. Once we arrive at the right approach and a price is agreed to, I require a $1000.00 deposit to start. I will give you a schedule, and a firm completion date. The balance plus shipping is to be paid by money order or personal check in US dollars upon completion. Instruments sold within the state of California will have tax added to the total price.

Each guitar carries a five year warranty against material and construction defects to the original owner. Determining applicability of warranty is at my sole discretion. I have an excellent reputation for being fair.  

IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ! Once work has started, the deposit is non-refundable. If final payment is not received within one month of completion, the guitar will be subject to sale. Since I will stick to the schedule, you will have a completion date and a clear lead time to financially prepare for your guitar’s completion.
