Ordering

Contact Me to begin the process of ordering your instrument. I will then schedule a meeting with you in person (when possible), by phone, email or tele-conferencing–whatever you prefer. We will begin the process by discussing playing style, ergonomics, aesthetics, materials etc. related to your custom build.

An engagement fee of 20% of the value of the instrument to cover time, materials will guarantee your slot in my production list. This is non-refundable. The remainder of the payment will be due upon completion of the instrument prior to shipping.

Warranty

The warranty for our instruments extends for a period of 5 years and provides coverage for any defects or issues arising from craftsmanship. However, it is important to note that certain conditions are excluded from this warranty.

The warranty does not cover damages resulting from improper storage, modifications, mishandling, or misuse of the instrument. Additionally, any damage caused by exposure to extreme temperatures or humidity is not covered. It is essential to follow our recommended guidelines regarding the tension and type of strings used, as alterations or the use of inappropriate strings voids the warranty.

Please be aware that this warranty is valid only for the original purchaser of the instrument and is non-transferrable.

Shipping

Shipping and handling will be determined after completion of the instrument. Carriers will be determined by criteria such as appropriate insurance, storage conditions, and availability and may vary by geographical location. The client is responsible for any or all shipping expenses, international tax, tariff or custom fees including import/export regulation (eg CITIES).

Testimonials

Justin Purtill

“So happy to have picked up this beauty from Nathaniel Rich the other day! It’s a real masterpiece. As soon as I played it, I knew this puppy was going to seriously affect my (already greatly diminished) social life…. because now all I want to do is practice ????. Thanks Nathaniel, I’ve been searching for an axe like this for some time.”

Nathaniel custom built a classical guitar for me in 2017. Since then I have played this beautiful instrumental almost every day. It was built to fit the size of my hands so I can play it comfortably while maintaining a great sound. When it’s time for me to acquire my next guitar I will definitely be talking to Nathaniel.

“I love the balance, projection, and sweet tone I get out of my Hollis-Rich guitar. There is a robust sound, yet it maintains the ability to get a wide range of colors, making it suitable for many performing situations.”
