CUSTOM ORDERS
My goal is to provide my customers with a very exciting and enjoyable
experience when ordering their custom built RS Muth guitar.
Initial inquiries can be either
by phone or email. Once you have decided to make a purchase I will
arrange a time that is good for both of us to go over the many
options and considerations in designing a guitar specifically for
you. I will certainly have as many questions for you as you will
have for me and we may need to take time to consider these before
getting back together again to finalize the design. The design
process will be highly interactive and I can provide guidance as to
the selection of woods and other design parameters based on your
tonal and aesthetic preferences and playing style. However, in no
way will I compromise my standards for sound and structural
integrity in designing a custom guitar.

POLICIES
An initial deposit of $500 is required to secure a position on the
waiting list and to lock in the price. A second $500 deposit
is then required once work commences. The balance plus
shipping and insurance costs is due upon completion and before
delivery of the guitar. Cancellations before the work is completed
will result in the loss of all deposits. Payments may be made with
checks or money orders.
In the unlikely event you are not completely satisfied with your
new guitar, you may return the guitar in its original condition for
a complete refund less all shipping and insurance costs incurred.
In order to receive a refund you must contact me within 48 hours to
obtain a return authorization. The guitar must be completely
unaltered and undamaged and be in the identical condition as when
it left my shop.
WARRANTY
Each RS Muth guitar carries a limited lifetime warranty to the
original owner. This warranty covers repairs due to defects in
material and workmanship for as long as you own the guitar. In
addition I will provide a free neck reset in the unlikely event it
should need one during the first five years that you own the
guitar. This warranty is not transferable. You shall be responsible
for all shipping and insurance charges that are incurred. Damage
due to neglect, abuse, unauthorized repairs or modifications, or
extremes of heat and/or humidity are not covered under this
warranty. In addition, normal wear and tear items such as nuts,
saddles, strings and frets are not covered. Pickups are covered by
the manufacturer’s warranty. For information on properly caring
