About Maka Guitars

Hello,

I'm beginning to take commissions for my custom guitar builds. The reason I'm taking commissions so early in my career is because I'm unable to keep funding my builds and upgrading my tools by myself, so I've turned to the public to ask for your help to give me experience in return for a rad custom guitar.

This is a small-scale system to keep my luthier experience going. If you have any questions, email me.

Thank you for your support.

Quality Notice

This is not a professional shop — this is a small-scale run at building guitars. My builds have the possibility of minor imperfections. If you're looking for machine-like absolute perfection, this is not the place for you.

The Process
01
Customize

Customize your guitar using the builder below to get a cost estimate.

02
Submit Your Request

Hit "Send Commission Request" to open a pre-filled email to makaguitars@gmail.com. Indicate you're requesting a guitar in the subject line with all customization details.

03
Get Confirmed

We will figure out the remaining details through email, then I'll send a material downpayment via Venmo.

04
Receive Your Guitar

I'll send a 2nd payment request for labor ($400) and a shipping fee depending on where you are. Then it ships to you.

Email makaguitars@gmail.com to check availability before building your guitar.
