Terms
How we do business. Last updated June 29, 2026.
Reservations
Placing a reservation puts a hold on an item; it is not a completed sale and no payment is taken online. We confirm availability by email. Holds may expire if not confirmed within a reasonable window.
Payment
We accept cash on pickup, Venmo, CashApp, and PayPal. We do not process cards on this site and store no card data. Deposits, when agreed, are arranged directly.
Pickup & shipping
Guitars, amplifiers, and cabinets are local pickup only in Lynden and Whatcom County. Smaller items — pickguards, wired harnesses, pickups, and tone plugs — can be shipped at the buyer's cost.
Service work
Bench work is quoted up front and the estimate is free. Hourly luthier work runs two to five hours at a rate agreed per project. We do not perform refrets. Custom builds are priced on parts plus labor with a timeline based on sourcing, and carry no fixed deadline.
What we work on
Electric guitars and basses only. As a garage shop we cannot control the temperature and humidity that acoustic instruments require, so we do not take acoustic work, and we cannot refer one locally at this time.
