COMMISSIONING
A Kostal Guitar can be acquired through one of the dealers listed below, or commissioned directly through the shop. Purchasing through a dealer may reduce the wait time and place a beautiful custom guitar in your hands soon, while commissioning allows the buyer to work directly with Jason on crafting their own one of a kind instrument. Both options take time, but the finer things in life usually do. If you are interested in working directly with Jason, or have questions about the process, please contact us.
