Guitar Info
This guitar is a Model 3 size (00) prototype.  Utilizing a unique back profile combined with a Manzer style wedge, this guitar is meant to be the perfect couch companion that aims to inspire.  Created to engage with multiple senses (sight, sound, smell and touch), this guitar finds avenues to help the artist discover those hidden harmonies, or percussive techniques that make captivating finger style music.  The unique back profile being used by Jeremy takes the cylindrical back radius, but transitions the profile from a 9' radius outwards to a 7' radius.  Guitar #030 then takes that profile, offsets it by 3" and places it onto a Manzer Wedge build technique to optimize comfort, and placement of body depth back towards the center of the lower bout.  This build was the first of its kind (within Pappenfüs Guitars) and is the launching point for this methodology.  Jeremy is referring to this back design as a "progressive back radius".  Serial # 030-11112024-03

SHIPPING INFORMATION

The Luthier Bench advocates for a series of precautionary steps when shipping a guitar.  We highly recommend that Sellers follow the following guidelines outlined in our Knowledge Base article:   HOW TO SHIP A GUITAR.  Important pointers like loosening the strings prior to shipping are detailed in the article.

Our shipping policy is straightforward - every domestic shipment from a USA-based Luthier to a USA-located Buyer will be charged a $150 flat fee, including $5,000 of comprehensive shipping and purchase insurance. For international shipments, our platform charges a flat fee of $350 for shipments originating in the USA to any EU address ($450 from EU workshop to USA Buyer and $250 from EU Workshop to EU Buyer), also including $5,000 of shipping and purchase insurance.  After purchasing a guitar build on our platform, our logistics team will directly reach out to the Buyer to: (1) confirm the transaction; (2) offer Buyer an array of shipping alternatives; and (3) determine desired insurance level coverage.

INSURANCE INFORMATION

The Luthier Bench provides $5,000 of comprehensive shipping & purchase insurance at no charge included in our flat rate shipping rate.  $5,000 of Shipping and Package Insurance will be automatically added to the cart and the Buyer can either accept that level of shipping insurance, or opt to increase the coverage up to $10,000. This comprehensive shipping insurance package is provided by XCOVER Shopping & Package Guarantee which provides 24/7 online insurance claim support.  Note that this coverage provides shipping insurance in the event of either loss, damage or theft (even porch piracy). NOTE: the minimum level of $5,000 of insurance coverage is included in our flat rate shipping on all shipments, both domestic and international.
