I am sorry to inform you Australian Guitar Tonewood will be closing indefinitely.
Many of you are already aware that we were unexpectedly having to relocate our household and business - news that broke earlier this year. This ultimately, has now become more than 2000km in nature!
The impact of this is such that despite our best efforts, it is not logistically feasible for us to continue the part-time business at this time. We have therefore made the difficult decision to close the store and apologise to all our customers who will be disappointed as a result. There is potential for us to re-establish it in future, but until such a time, the online store will officially close at 22:00hrs, Sunday, April 3rd. Any orders placed between now and then will be shipped out the following week, so if there is anything you've been dreaming about - now is your final opportunity!
Our original vision was to promote and supply the largest range of sustainable, ethical and truly alternative Australian Tonewoods to the broader Luthierie community. We invested much time and effort in the past year to achieve this and have truly appreciated your business, support and encouragement along the way. Despite being cut short, we don't feel that this was time wasted in any fashion. Over this period we have shipped orders as far as Russia, Switzerland, Austria, USA and England, to name a few and of course, to our many valued customers within Australia. We have had fantastic unsolicited feedback for both our service and the products we have supplied and feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to expose luthiers to new species.
We sincerely hope you continue to seek out and use the vast range of timber we have in this country, as viable and sustainable alternatives to the established standards.
Thanks again to our customers and to this forum - Bob and all the mods.
All the best,
Jeremy.
My apologies. But I'm happy to confirm all final orders have now shipped and should start arriving from tomorrow and throughout next week.
