Ordering a guitar starts with getting to know each other. Tell me what you play now, the sound you enjoy and what you would like from a new instrument. You can send a recording, choose a guitar you like from my portfolio or simply describe how you want it to feel. You do not need to know every technical detail beforehand — we can work through those together.
I currently build classical guitars with fan and lattice bracing. A fan-braced guitar starts at RUB 120,000, and a lattice guitar at RUB 170,000. We agree the final price before work begins, based on materials, fittings and the details of your order. A foam case is included.
We can discuss woods, scale length, neck width and profile, decoration, finish and tuners. Your preferences help me make a guitar that feels comfortable for you. I retain Arcaya’s signature design features, including the distinctive headstock shape.
A build usually takes 3–4 months from the start of work. A busy order book may mean a longer wait, so we discuss the start date and expected completion beforehand. During the build, I send photographs, share progress and check any details of your preferences as needed.
Private orders require a materials deposit of at least 30% of the guitar’s price. Further payments can be arranged in stages if that suits you better. Music schools and other organisations can discuss a contract with payment after receiving the instrument. We agree the payment arrangements when discussing your order.
You can collect your finished guitar in person or arrange shipping, including international delivery. The customer pays the shipping costs; we agree the method and arrangements in advance.
My instruments come with a one-year warranty, and I stay in touch after handover. You are welcome to ask about care, storage or setup. If a repair is needed, I can help with both warranty and non-warranty cases. I want you to enjoy using your instrument and know who to turn to for support.
I also plan to build OM-bodied steel-string acoustic guitars — the body moulds are ready. This part of my work is still in preparation.
If you are thinking about your own guitar, send me a message. Let us start with a conversation about music, your wishes and the instrument you would like to pick up and play.
