New Applegate guitars are occaisionally available for direct purchase (either models built for guitar shows or new prototypes) and will be posted on this page. Purchasing a pre-built guitar means that you will miss the experience of specifying all the details of your guitar and being a part of the "custom build" process. However, if an instrument currently in stock is very close to what you would have ordered, you can own it immediately, without the wait time in the order queue. You may also check with Appleagte Guitars dealers for any available guitars.
