Notice: HANALEI MOON is MOVING it's shop operations.   We will be closed for the entire month of March, 2010 to implement the move.  Orders received from Feb 27 to March 31st will be queued in the order received.  Effectively,  this means a 4 week delay over and above the normal 1-2 week interval. Sorry for the inconvenience and please plan accordingly!

WHAT'S NEW?

Hanalei Moon has changed truss rod suppliers to C.F. Martin, who now offers a very fine two way truss rod.  We made this change because Allied Lutherie recently stopped US based testing of their Chinese made product, thus pushing that responsibility on to the builders (you and I) reliant upon instructions posted at their website and the QA work at their OEM. Our position is if a rod breaks in the factory, it simply goes into a scrap pile.  If it breaks after you've built a finished guitar investing 80 or more labor hours, then you are looking at a huge amount of cost and re-work to tear it apart and replace that rod.  In our opinion, some elements can and should be 100% tested, and this is one!  

Hanalei Moon is now offering black and white fiber veneer and purfling materials at a great discount.
