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. After we assign you a ship date, please pack your instrument carefully* and ship to the drop address 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.
  3. 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.
  4. When your guitar is ready (about 2 weeks, depending upon our current backlog) we will require you to pay the return shipping costs.
  5. Upon payment we will carefully pack your instrument up and send it back to you insured.
