Ordering Process

A non-refundable deposit for half the instrument's cost is required before design and construction begin. The deposit can be paid all at once, or in smaller monthly payments, as low as $100/month. Your first payment, regardless of the amount, will hold your place in line. Xylem accepts cash, money orders, checks, and credit card payments through PayPal.

Anthony will never sacrifice quality or rush construction to reach a deadline date of completion, but he will give you an estimated time to completion upon receipt of your deposit. Time to completion will vary depending on the nature of your instrument and the number of instruments on order. Anthony will mail or email you an image of the full-size drawing of your instrument for your approval before construction begins.

Xylem will ship or deliver your instrument once it has been paid for in full. The customer is responsible for all shipping costs, insurance fees, taxes and import duties. All sales final. Custom instruments are non-refundable and non-returnable.

Thank you for your interest in Xylem custom basses and guitars!

As a luthier, I aim to build instruments that enhance the talents of their musicians, and aid them in realizing their goals, gaining inspiration and connecting with their audiences. I work closely with all my clients to design and build instruments that will suit them symbiotically and help them achieve and excel in their musical endeavors.
