oops one more thing
gosh where is my brain today. I wanted to also write something about why I want to get the guitars out for $1500.
I look around and see a lot of custom builders that seem to think that their time is worth SO much money. True, time is money, but I also look around and see the REAL musicians that are out there. THEY are the ones that are breakin' their backs, and pourin' the blood, sweat, and tears into their music. They are the ones that should really have a great quality instrument that is going to be of the utmost in quality, the finest tone, and just really top notch over all....yet who can really afford one of these modern hand build instruments when they are almost the same price as the vintage ones in most cases?! On top of that, who would really feel comfortable paying $3000-$5000 for a guitar and then take it out to you gigs and sweat all over it.
I'm very passionate about what I'm doing and I'm not out to make millions of dollars. I just want to make enough to pay my bills and maybe have a tiny bit left over after that to put away for a rainy day. I think it's about time for real musicians to be able to afford really great instruments!
But that's just me, maybe I'm crazy.
