Yes! Motherplucker guitars are all handmade and have a lot of work hours invested in them. Because of this, we usually cannot afford to give away free guitars. However, we have several discount options for artists. Send us a message with your information and we’ll do our best to review it as soon as possible.

Simply fill out the build form and submit it, after I review your preferences, I will confirm your order and send you a PayPal invoice for 50% of the total. This is your down payment. Once your build is completed and ready for shipment, I will send you a PayPal request for the remaining 50% + any shipping fees.

If you want to cancel, you have one week after paying the down payment, if you passed that week, your down payment will be lost along with the woods and materials we harvest for it.

All of our designs are created by us. A lot of love and work went into creating our models. As such, we are always working to improve and develop our designs. Occasionally we make minor tweaks to our models that improve the instruments overall aesthetic and playability. Don’t worry, its all to create a better instrument.

Multiscale exists to address a common issue that occurs when extending a guitar’s range. Adding lower range to a standard scale length results in floppy strings. A longer scale allows for the string to be tuned the same, but still maintain better tension. Multiscale is simply having a longer scale length on the bass side, and a shorter scale length on the treble side. This keeps the tension even across the strings and there is no floppiness in your playing; no muddy sounds when tuning low. Many people also find it really comfortable to play on as well.

We put a lot into building these guitars and growing this business. All of it is only possible because customers like you take the plunge and order an MP guitar. We are always grateful for this support. So… ordering a build from us makes you part of the MP family. Early adopters of the MP brand are taken care of. This may mean you get discount on your builds, extra MP merch, additional design work or discounted add-ons. While this isnt concrete, we try our best to take care of customers who support us and return for more.
