Pricing:
Are you seriously considering a custom instrument? This will be a decision you won't regret. All orders require a $800 deposit to ensure a place in line in my build schedule.
The balance is due upon completion. I do guarantee my work for the lifetime of the instrument to the original owner against manufacturers defects for as long as I am professionally building. I'm currently 45, I live a relatively healthy lifestyle, so I'm hoping for a long career. All guitars are available with a wide variety of nut/neck widths and custom string spacing. Specifications are tailored, within reason, to meet your needs and desires.
All prices in Canadian dollars. Taxes apply.

Standard Hamm-tone construction method and technique description:
ALL Hamm-tone acoustic guitars, whether they are archtop, steel string or nylon string, are constructed with the neck and body built separately, then joined together using a traditional Martin style dovetail joint. There have been a few methods used over the years, as design evolves and changes. The current method incorporates a mortoise and tenon shelf and pocket with the Martin style dovetail. I call it the Hamm-tone Honeymoon Fit. It's smart and efficient. You can find video demonstrations on Youtube. I always fit the neck until it is exceptionally tight, and then use to bolts or machine screws to keep the lovely dovetail in place. The main purpose of the bolts is not to hold the neck on the guitar, but to stop the dovetail from sliding out of position if the neck is ever hit. The bolts are merely like a "seatbelt". There is a mortoise and tenon style bolt on shelf beneath the fingerboard, allowing the neck to be removed without heat or steam. You get the best of both worlds with a combined dovetail and mortoise and tenon neck join. This method was started at guitar #146.
All Hamm-tone guitars are built with solid materials, but for the sides, the current preferred method is adding two to three veneers to the inside of the solid sides to add stiffness, while maintaining bass response. For a few years I was building with a respected solid/kerfed-side method, I have stopped for two main reasons: Bass response is reduced, extra mass added to the instrument that, in my opinion, doesn't justify itself. I can if you wish, but feel it doesn't give as much as it takes from the instrument. Cool ideas aren't always better.
Warranty information:
All new Hamm-tone guitars come with a limited lifetime warranty to the original owner. This warranty ensures that the guitar was adequately and professionally built with my most recent methods and will perform for the lifetime of the instrument in normal operating conditions. If the guitar is abused or neglected, the warranty will then be void.
Returns:
I do not normally accept returns, except in special circumstances. If a guitar is sold "AS IS" or "NO RETURNS", this does not apply. If you purchase a Hamm-tone guitar, or order a Hamm-tone, I will issue a refund if the guitar has been returned in the exact same condition as it was sent out & arrangements have been made. The funds will then be credited to the customer's account; once the guitar has been restored (if required) to it's original state and re-sold to a new customer and re-sold, the funds will be released.
