Guitar Prices:
Flamenco price: $12,000.00 USD quality cypress and spruce top. Traditional tan color French polish. I personally finish all of my guitars, by special appointment only.

Brazilian Rosewood Classical prices : Inquire email: tguitars@texas.net
No Warranty given or implied: I am currently building just the Miguel Rodriguez model-style, which is my retirement offering, due to USA and some additional international calls for this particular model. These guitars will be offered as I finish each project. Therefore there are no deposits required (or orders to be made) and paid for until 2 to 3 weeks before the guitar is shipped. A personal check or money order is fine but I do not accept credit cards. All sales are final.
If there are minor adjustments, like the playing action, to be made to a new guitar with-in the first year, then there is no charge. But any transportation charge and insurance for the instrument, to and from my shop, is understood to be the owner's responsibility. Also, I am connected to a network of fine repairmen that can handle major repair work due to damaged instruments, and paid for by the owner.
I try to be always available, by telephone, in the USA, to give advice related to any instrument I've made, either for possible resale to a potential buyer, or care and advice concerning protection of the instrument. The guitar is a very personal thing to me, as I've been a player for over 55 years, and I understand that finding the right instrument is a major undertaking for amateur and professional players.
But due to my limited building schedule, any new guitar will be shipped to the buyer with no refunds at this time in my building career. After the buyer receives the guitar, the guitar is considered sold.
However, the guitar is always sent with the idea of building it for my own person and therefore will not leave my shop until I'm completely satisfied with it. In this sense, I have a reputation to maintain, and it is my personal belief that this model has grown in favor with many players who are investing in their future talents.
Note: To be a little humorous, I have learned a lot over the years and feel that I've come to a higher level with this model than where I was, even 10 years before. In other words, I have not reached my level of incompetence yet.
I will be available by phone for all inquiries for the life and/or active work schedule of this builder, with the idea that my good wishes and emotional support go beyond the point of sale.
