Please fill out as much information as possible to submit an order with Arken Guitars.​

There are no set prices with any of our custom builds as they all depend on your wood choices, hardware choices and finishing options.

Please note, at the current time, we are unable to offer options and builds for acoustic instruments.

Deposits for Guitars are £750

Deposits for Basses are £750

These deposits for each build, when paid, will secure you a serial number and a slot in our build schedule.

When the form is received we will be in contact as soon as possible with a rough quote on the build.

When the quote is finalised and we're all happy with the specification and final price, a deposit can be paid.

We can then get the ball rolling and start sourcing and selecting timbers for you.

Timber Grades

Some options, such as flame maple necks and quilted maple tops, can come in a variety of grades ranging from 1A to 5A.
1A being lower/lowest grade figure and 5A being the highest grade figure with very little defects.
We tend to use timbers graded from 3A to 5A to make the selection worthwhile.
As you can imagine, the higher the grade, the higher the price, but the reward can be priceless.

Standard Nut & Heel Spacings are as follows:
