I'm offering a limited number of vintage style instruments.
These guitars are built in the traditional manner
of the 1920's and 30's and are based on plans from
actual instruments of that era. The first of these
is a 00-42 in Adirondack/Brazilian Rosewood. Other
sizes available are 000 amd 0M in all levels of trim.
If vintage is your passion, let's explore
the possibilities.

| 00-13
If you've never played a 13 fret guitar, you're in
for a real treat. The 00 size body combined with the
extra accessbility that the 13 fret affords is a favorite
for many players. It really hits the "Sweet Spot"
between the traditional 12 and 14 fret positions.
Available in either 24.9" or 25.4" scales
with either slot head or paddle-head. Shown in Adirondack/Mahogany
with a full sunburst.
Base price $3500.00

Ordering Information
The construction of a handmade guitar is a true collaborative
effort between the player and the luthier. It requires a
great deal of communication between the player and the builder
and always requires many calls, emails, and sometimes even
personal visits.
Once all the design criteria has been completed and the
wood selections have been made, a $500.00 non-refundable
deposit is required. The balance is due upon completion
of the guitar and prior to shipment. Applicable taxes, insurance,
and shipping costs are in addition to the price of the guitar.
Caldwell Guitars are warranted to the original owner for
my life as an active luthier. If for any reason, you are
unhappy with your guitar, you may return it within 10 days
for a full refund (less initial deposit) subject to the
sale of the guitar. Non-Standard body shapes, custom inlays,
or other one-of-a-kind features void this part of the warranty.
Minor adjustments are also included in this warranty and
are performed at no charge. (Shipping & Insurance are
not included).
Guitars may be commisioned directly from me or through John
Reynolds at Golden
Age Fretted Instuments.
Please call or e-mail me with any questions you may have
regarding the craft of Lutherie whether it involves one
of my guitars or not. I’ll be happy to talk to you.
Hopefully, I’ll be able to answer your question, or
at the very least, put you in touch with someone who can.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my site.
