Custom Guitar FAQs

A custom electric guitar gives you a unique playing experience and sound. What it feels and sounds like is totally in your hands. Research has told us that you want flexibility when it comes to body design, setup options and sound. A custom guitar is an extremely personal instrument which reflects you, your personality and they way you want to be seen.

You can speak with one of our master craftsmen who will work with you to design your dream guitar. Custom made guitars from Munson are built using a proven process. Our team here at Munson Guitars will guide you throughout your journey.

Prices vary depending on the configuration. However, as a custom electric guitar builder, our technology and process makes a Munson guitar as affordable as possible whilst still delivering the quality you would expect from a luthier built instrument.

Depending on the configuration, bespoke guitars will typically take 3-6 months from order to shipping. Custom shop guitars take around 16-20 weeks form order to shipping. As a custom guitar builder, we understand that every dream is unique, as will be your guitar. Once we have finalised the design, we will let you know the estimated build time, so you can make room for your new Munson.

In the unlikely event that your Guitar is not quite what you expected, don’t panic. We can tune and tweak it until you are happy. Some things we can do over the phone by talking you through the process, but there may be times when your pride and joy needs to come back for us for bigger changes. That’s why it is important to keep the shipping boxes and packaging.
You get one round of changes to your design included as part of the service*. While we can change and adjust some things, others we can’t, such as the shape and colour, but don’t worry, we will let you know during the design process what is locked in and when.
