Ordering the AO1™ process for your instrument is simple:
  1. Contact us via email and tell us about your instrument(s) so we can check our backlog and give you a date/time that we will be able to receive it.  
  2. Pay the deposit. (below)
  3. After we assign you a ship date, please pack your instrument carefully* and ship with full insurance. We cannot be responsible for anything that happens to your instrument on its way here. We open and examine each package thoroughly before beginning our work. Send it to: AAL at Hollowood Music, 601 Chartiers Avenue, McKees Rocks, PA 15136
  4. After we examine your guitar, we’ll give you a diagnostic overview of how we think the AO1 process will affect your instrument(s.) Then we’ll begin the treatment.
  5. When your guitar is ready (about 3 weeks, depending upon our current backlog) we will require you to pay the full balance due including return shipping costs.
  6. Upon payment we will carefully pack your instrument up and send it back to you insured, along with a signed service certificate. Each guitar we process will have its serial number, date of processing and model recorded in our registry. This information is currently private and is designed to protect the guitar owners and offer documentation verification in the future.
