This guitar is a model we continually have on order. We buy them as fast as Bill can make them and they vanish just as quickly. The last three guitars Bill built for us were sold in two days! We suggest in the strongest terms that you contact us and inquire what is in production. We do not take deposits unless you order a custom guitar made to your specifications. Custom orders take 4-8 months depending upon complexity of your instrument.

We will put you on a waiting list for all regular production Gagnon models and we will call you when we receive, inspect and set each guitar up. We call customers in the order they are put on the waiting list. If you decline the guitar we call the next person on the list. (You really want to be first on the list)
