Ken Bebensee Electric/Acoustic Stringed Instruments

Juan Guitarres 6-string bass carved headstock Online order form not yet available. In the meantime, please call to place an order.

Instruments can be made to any practical specification, shape or size imaginable and you may be very specific about your choice of wood, hardware, and electronics. All instruments are guaranteed for great tone, ease of playability, and quality craftsmanship throughout. To custom build an instrument to your specifications, a down payment of 50% is necessary to buy materials. Optional financing plans are available during the construction time. The average time required for building instruments is currently 30 months. It takes longer for carvings, inlays and intricate custom work. Please use e-mail or call for more information about my current inventory of wood and instruments, which are available now or will be available soon.

To place an order, please fill out the form below. Once I receive your order we can discuss it further, fill in the details, set a price, and determine how long it'll take to complete. If you don't find what you're looking for, e-mail, or call me.

If you would rather receive a printed color catalog and order form (allow 3-4 weeks for delivery), please send a check or money order for $5.00 to:
