| Shipping in and/or awaiting photography. You may reserve these... before they are listed on Guitar, Bass, or Amp Lists! NOTE: We have other instruments NOT listed anywhere on the web site. These guitars are being offered privately. When we discuss your desires, these private offerings will be available to you as well. Our resources for fine instruments are as deep as our love for the subject! Items below are not on our Classical Lists or Guitar Lists 1 through 8. Feel free to call Richard to discuss whether these instruments match your playing style, body fit and hand dimensions. The personal match-up process is what we do best. We watch out for the players' needs. Each player gets the right gear (That is our mission). Remember: There is no financial penalty for ordering custom guitars, basses, or amps through FGC. Our prices are the same as directly from the maker. We are here to help you choose which makers are likely to be the best choices for you and your music. There is no charge for the consulting time. You only pay for the phone call on our (619) 265-5900 line. Our sellers pay us a fee out of their pockets. Resale guitars are sometimes less than the cost of a new guitar. Note: When you
see 'FGC Special,' or 'FGC Lucky 12 Special,' this means that Richard personally specified and/or supplied materials to the luthier to help give a this custom guitar a distinctive
look and/or sound. Says Richard, "As a consultant, I am involved in the custom ordering process to ensure the player/collector's needs are met in every detail. On these
'FGC
Specials,' I specify materials for my own taste; I trust there are many players out there that will agree with my selections. Still, it is important that the instrument match well
with the player. That strong chemistry is vital." --Richard |  |
