Quicksilver Prices Updated for 2006
The basic Quicksilver now starts at only $1,295.00 It comes stock with premium electronics, premium hardware, premium fingerboard woods, premium workmanship. You have a choice of set neck or bolt in neck at no extra charge. It will easily stand up to any guitar on the market anywhere to within 3 times it's price. Naturally you can spend a lot of money and load it up with cosmetic options just like the one in the picture.
This Guitar has optional LSR tuners on it. There have been a few problems with the LSR tuners. Please read the LSR tuner page and make up your own mind.
Quicksilver's run from $1,595.00 to $7,500.00. The average Quicksilver sold is in the $2,750.00 to $2,995.00 range. It is important to realize that, if you compare a Quicksilver with it's very popular machine made competitor, the price will be a little lower. However, Quicksilver offers many more options that are simply not available at any price on the competitive model. When you take that into account, the Quicksilver really beats the pants off the competition price-wise.
The Quicksilver offers tone, beauty, options, unique features, rock solid construction and quality parts that guitar players have not only come to appreciate, but expect. In the current boutique pool of guitar choices, one has to weigh every feature and benefit and of course the investment. With a starting price of $1395 and so many options available you can literally build a custom shop guitar at the price of a mass produced model.
The Roman Quicksilver
needs to be seen and played to be fully appreciated.
This guitar is a serious
contender for the "Best Value" award of 2001.

PLEASE DON'T BE SCARED BY THIS PRICELIST
It's Very Easy To Use
I have made an example priced guitar in the yellow column on the left. This original high end model guitar is loaded to the max with a fabulous quilted maple top, ebony fingerboard, gold hardware, lacquer finish, locking tuners, direct coupling, & More for a mere $2,899.00 . Now remember PRS does not allow you to get a an ebony fingerboard or any binding whatsoever. PRS won't do Korina and the quality of a PRS 10 top equals one of our 8 tops. PRS does not offer a 15" deep set neck tenon or hard mounted pickups either.

Pickups Most Seymour Duncan pickups are included free of charge (including the Black/backs ™). Most Dimarzio pickups are included free of charge (but they are the least recommended). Most PRS pickups are available for $50.00 each (they can't be solid mounted they have to be spring loaded). Customers can supply their own pickups. Customer Supplied Components A customer can supply any component including the wood for
their particular instrument. Every effort is made to provide the customer
with the absolute highest level of customization. However there will be extra
charges for items that require discussions, engineering & special design.
Most of the major manufacturers custom shops limit the customer to only their
very limiting pre selected parts. Substitutions Occasionally it might become necessary to make substitutions if a particular product is unavailable. I will not arbitrarily install a different item without consulting the customer. I cannot hold guitar for more than 30 days without full payment in situation where the customer has not supplied the specified parts or in the case of a company not delivering a specified part. For example LSR Tuners can sometimes be back ordered for 6 months or more. If the customer has specified LSR tuners I will wait until the product is delivered but the customer can only hold back payment on the specified item itself. Price Increases Price increases on Quicksilver guitars are announced annually or semi annually coinciding with the NAMM shows. If a customer orders a guitar his price will remain in effect even in the event of a price increase.
