What custom guitar commissions are you expecting delivery on in 2019?

Thanks to those of you who chimed in...

Now that we’ve entered 2019 (Happy New Year!), I will no longer updating this build list. There is a diverse array of 54 commissioned guitars listed. Hopefully, those who posted will be able to share their being built or completed instruments across the year here in the AGF Custom Shop...

What type of guitar(s) are you expecting and from which luthier(s) will we be seeing here in 2019?

I will added a summary list that I will update from time (for the next few weeks) to time based on responses in this initial post.

I’m expecting a guitar build from Tom Doerr to start in about two weeks’ time. Hope this isn’t too late!

[SuperB23]

I too am expecting a Mod D build from Tom Doerr in 2019, I'm super excited about it!!

[borborygmus]

IN 2019 I am expecting new guitars from Rosie Heydenrych of Turnstone Guitars and my second instrument from Tom Sands. More on both in due course.

So heartening to see that the luthier built guitar community is still going strong! So many familiar builds going on here, very much looking forward to seeing threads for them

[iim7V7IM7]

Agreed Marcus... I suspect that no one is happier to see this than the luthier community...

Bob - I'm too late but great idea!

But for good measure the Bashkin will be built this year, though I expect the Michaud will push to 2020.

[started with 1]

Make it 3 Bowermans.

I expect my OM 28 Adirondack and Brazilian in the next few weeks.

Should have a custom Brook Lyn (Adirondack/Bubinga) arriving in the summer...can.. not...wait.

I can't wait to receive my Tom Sands Baritone with all the trimmings (cutaway, Manzer wedge, fan frets, arm and rib bevels, etched copper rosette) in a few months' time - the first of two guitars I have coming from Tom. I'm jokingly calling it the Dan Burne signature Sands baritone. I've started a build thread here: https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/...d.php?t=525777

[Edbuff]

i am expecting an all English wood guitar from Rosie at Turnstone guitars

[Al_Plays_Poorly]

I'm on the Halcyon list - Ed Bond - hoping for delivery of my J this year

[CoolerKing]

1) Brondel A2c Spruce/Pernambuco

2) Circa OM18 cutaway beeswing hog and bearclaw euro spruce, style 21 trim

3) LeGeyt CLM Tree hog and tbd spruce

[antsdmb]

A Per Marklund D-18 1937 shadetop repro and I can't wait!

I've never commissioned a custom build and never thought I would.

I struggled with one of my favorite guitar designs being almost perfect for me.

On a whim I did a Google search and found a NYC store commissioned a small batch that were exactly what I had always wanted. The price was more than I would splurge on for myself but pretty close. And for a "dream" guitar I could certainly stretch to it.

But I reached out to Ted at LA Guitar Sales to see if he might get a better price for a custom like that.

I'm hopeful he comes back with an offer I can't refuse.
