Thanks David, I hope you enjoy yourself here! There are plenty of build threads here. Mine is just a rough guide on the processes I use to build a guitar. Tom - I see I am in good comapny then! It does depend which level of factory you are trying to compete with here. These guitars retail at £1550 before VAT not cheap by any stretch of the imagination but is cheaper than alot of the high end factory guitars that you might see a learned student with. I am working with one very well known UK retailer to market and sell these guitars. I see no reason for the idea fail. We have had a great start and take up on the project and we are only 9 months in. My only assumption why you guys stopped competing with the factory makers is because you all got great reputations, could command a considerable amount for your top guitars and felt that the cheaper guitars were simply not worth the time any more. One thing I have found is I prefer to build these one at a time 2 at a maximum. The enjoyable part of this build really, is seeing how fast it can come together. I would not want a production line feel to it, otherwise it may start to feel like a job! I get enough of that with repair work. Anyway I really should be at work now!
