I never started building guitars to make money its just a Hobby with me. But parts and tools cost money, let alone all the disposable stuff you use. Companies pay big money for surveys, lest face it Im lucky to have a 20 in my pocket. For a hand made Cherry or Walnut Guitar with a standard gold pickup, fretted neck, ebony nut and bridge, gold Tuners and Gold Mesh Screen Sound Holes, Volume and Tone knobs in Gold/Abalone. $275.00. Deduct 50.00 for an unfretted neck. Add 40 dollars for a hand wound pick up. Basic CBG size, 3 string Poplar, no frills, gold tuners ebony bridge and Nut, fretted neck $175.00. Add $25.00 for Walnut or cherry. I can hang only so many on the Wall. Does this seem fair, thats about as cheap as I can do it. The one in the pictures would be $225.00. Except it would have a gold pick up instead of the Peizo in the picture.This is the cherry model, lots of different ways to build these the above was just examples.
