Price List and Terms

Price list as of June 8, 2011 for Sipsey River Steel lap steel guitars

These guitars are handcrafted, one at a time, and will be available in very limited quantities as I am able to produce them. Every guitar is personally signed and numbered by me. These are all one-of-a-kind, high-end instruments, and the unique shape of each guitar is determined by the individual cypress knee from which it is crafted.
