Pricelist
and Order Information
Copies of the instrument mentioned below are for sale.
Only available in blank, transparant red or transparant green. Blue is an exclusive
color for the first proto-type and my own copies.
For people who have not very much money, I regularly
give building workshops.
Try to catch one of those and you can have your own Home Swinger for
about 125 Euro. Also a 2nd workshop Quick Steps Electric 12 tone
Kalimba is available for 85 Euro.
Circulation of the intruments
IÕm having a few instruments in stock for purchasal.
Not sure if I continue serializing, since I prefer to make as many different
models as possible for my own excitement.
I make very little amounts of guitars yearly,
approximatelly 10 per year, and I mainly focus on performances and workshops
booked by Julie Tippex. Some
orders will take about 6 months, but most of the time one year. Some of the
instruments are already finished and can be bought immediatelly though.
I try to keep the models exclusive to ensure the
instrument is a good investment as a collectable object for the purchasor. Take
a look at the E-bay prices of the Gittler Guitar or the Fender Swinger and you will understand the
future market value of small-serialized guitars, especially when they are odd
and famous. ItÕs similar to collecting stamps, but a lot more rock Ôn roll.
Although I must admit the Inverted Jenny is a pretty wild stamp! Not sure if I
can compete with that.
Future products
IÕm currently working on a long wood lamellophone (2
meters), an 8 channel clock string drum and electric chorus bells.
I only do special requests for touring bands or bands I
approach. The ones below are available for everybody.

Partial scalloped fretboard is
possible for Û150,- on top. (John
Schmersal from EnonÕs version, as
shown on the pic)
John SchmersalÕs proto has an
all covered pickguard on his own special request. All copies have a similar
pickguard like my own copy and the Springtimes. He also has a lipstick pickup
near the neck. This was his. I donÕt have access yet to purchase those pickups
for the replicaÕs.
I strongly recommend the
Twister above the Springtime, since I consider this one an improved version of
the Springtime for itÕs extended tail piece.
