Ordering info
I accept custom orders. Current lead time is 90-120 days. All pre-orders have to be paid in full prior to production start. For pre-order payments I currently accept bank transfer only. Upon paying for a pre-order, you will receive an invoice from my company. I am a registered guitar maker in Croatia, EU.
You can choose between 5 guitar and 2 Bass models in various customizable configurations. Feel free to ask for a one-off design based on your ideas and wishes. I really like custom orders because I like challenges and bringing ideas to life. Most of the times custom designs won’t require an upcharge.
Big Guy, Bluebird, Tele, Strat, Jazzmaster, are all available as guitar base models. Jazz Bass or 1951 Precision Bass is available for Bass guitar models.
Available wood for bodies is Ash, roasted Ash, Alder, Samba, Basswood and Mahogany.
For necks I mainly use Maple (standard, quartersawn or roasted) or Mahogany. Necks can be made as one piece (1950's Fender style) or with separate Ebony or Rosewood fingerboard. In both variants I use a skunk stripe type installation for the truss rod. Starting mid-2024 all my necks will feature an original Hollowtone headstock design. Please contact me for more options on headstock designs.
The stock Hollowtone neck profile is based on Fender mid-50's neck profile – mild V at 1st fret that blends into comfortable rounded C shape at 12th fret. Chunky! ❤Most often it comes with 9,5″ fingerboard radius and Stainless steel medium frets. Those necks have proved to be the best all-round solution for most guitarists. Other neck profiles, fingerboard radii, fretwire etc. available at no extra charge.
Hardware is Gotoh, switches are CRL and pots are CTS audio taper.
Pickups are mostly Seymour Duncan (Big Guy bridge position, Bluebird), Mojo pickups (Big Guy neck), Tonerider (Surfari in standard Strats and Tonerider classic plus in a standard Tele). I can install any commercially available pickups upon your request.
