Not had the best year this year selling the cigar box guitars has been difficult to say the least I don't mind selling them at cost this will allow me to invest into this years projects.
But when people expect you to sell them at 50-75% of the cost this really bugs me anybody out there reading this who has made a guitar or in fact has made anything from scratch will understand the amount of time put into any project.
I make my guitars at cost only and do not add any build time costs on at all you can buy a kit to build your own but bear in mind the cheaper the kit the cheaper the parts that come with it.
At first I was using kits from Chicken Bone John which are in my mind the best you can buy with the cost of close to £100 its out of reach for a lot of people but you are getting one hell of a kit.
I thought I would like source my own parts and make up my own kits not easy and not really cost very effective.
It is better for me to buy kits and then upgrade the hardware selling off the kits component's elsewhere.
Doing this gives me some control over the Quility of my work and allowing me to be a bit more creative with my builds. I will be building some Guitars This year but not the same amount has last year.
I do not have the storgage space to hold any stock I will not put them in my Trailer or a lock up over the winter.
If anybody is interested in any of my guitars please follow the link an this site to my Etsy Shop and make an offer.
