EXCHANGE RATE.

This post is aimed at pretty much everyone outside the UK. If you follow the exchange rate and I realise not everyone does, then you will know that the UK Pound (£GBP) has taken a real beating in the last few months. So at the moment your $ € or Yen or whatever currency you are using now buys you more ACG than it has since before AC Guitars came into existance. Now while this is very much working in your favour it is not working in mine. My hardware comes from the USA Germany and Japan, most of the wood comes from USA and Germany so as you will appreciate my £ now buys less than it did 6 months ago. At the moment I have not put my prices up but this cannot continue for ever at some point I will need to cover the increased costs of my materials. So with this in mind I would suggest now id an excellent time to buy an ACG stock bass your cash gets you more the prices have not gone up so savings are to be made even with the ACG EQ01 dual filter pre-amp it has never been cheaper.

If interested in any of the stock instruments in the FOR SALE section of the website and you want the $ or € price just drop me a line and will be happy to let you know.

This applies equally to Reiver Guitars. Currently the first 5 stock models in each model is at an introductory price which is at least 25% below the retail price so coupled with the current exchange rate represents a considerable saving.

So the last of my TKO models on the bottom which was a slightly modified Tele to work with a 24 fret neck and improve the heel.
On the top my new take on the Tele since the modified one was to similar to the original so not really what I am interested in doing.

I have to say that I think your guitars are absolutely stunning and if I were in the market for a British hand built guitar you would be at the top of my list.
I love the choice of wood and finishes
I salute you sir

Howdy, Stranger!
