* Post Update July 2023
Jay has decided to retire from custom instrument builds and to pursue his passion of building whatever he dreams up, day by day. This new round of Lichty instruments are guaranteed to be one-of-a-kinds!
We expect to have a handful of instruments available each year for purchase and will post them on the site as soon as they are ready to ship. If you would like to be notified by Jay when a new instrument is coming up please send him an email (lichtyguitars (@) gmail.com). He will keep you in the loop!
What’s the Price of a Lichty Custom Ukulele or Guitar or Fiddle?
Because every Lichty is a one-of-a-kind the prices vary so the best way to get an estimate on cost is to run the numbers for guitars and ukuleles through our Price Calculator located below.
- For pricing on fiddles/violins, electric banjos and mandolins please contact Jay.
Guitar and Ukulele Cost Calculator
We think this tool is pretty great because you can play with endless features and options and get a good estimate of what your dream guitar or uke might cost.
You’ll begin by choosing Guitar or Ukulele. You must then choose a model and then you’ll choose the options. At anytime you can learn more about each model and option by following the links in the sidebar. These links open in a new browser and your calculator page will stay open.
Now, we admit that it can become a bit of a maze because some models and options may be new to you. You might find yourself thinking, What the heck is a Ziggy model? or Who ever heard of Chechen tonewood? or How do I decide on Gotoh or Rubner tuners? No worries, just explore the website and you’ll discover answers to most all of your questions. Too, Jay is always just a call or email away.
Please note:
- The base price for a custom guitar is $8,500 and the base price for a custom ukulele is $4,500. Click here to get an idea of all of the features and options that are included for those prices. Ultimately, you’ll want to contact Jay to discuss every detail and to get an exact quote.
- Custom acoustic guitars and ukuleles are our business and while we have included many design options in this Price Estimator it is nearly impossible to cover them all. If you don’t see something you are looking for, just let Jay know and you can talk over the possibilities.
- When using the calculator, some options indicate “Inquire for pricing” and these will not be included in your estimate. An example: Brazilian Rosewood as tonewood and custom instrument cases.
- Prices do not include tax, shipping charges and, for international orders, customs and duty fees.
- Please inquire about pricing on custom cases.
