Xanthus Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 how much did it cost you to build? Take the final selling price, minus cost of materials, then divide what you have left by however many hours it took to build, and you're looking at your salary. It's a simple method, I know, but pretty fair as far as far as calculating a selling price. I built almost the same exact guitar as you for my first build, and it cost me over $700. Remember, if you're going into business making and selling guitars, you're your own boss, so set your own salary. I don't think I'd sell anything that cost me $700 to build for less than $1000 at least, if I was hoping to make it worth my time and especially effort. ::EDIT:: I hope you got some good pics up on ebay, so the customer definitely knows what he's getting. For instance, the tapering/blending in the body wood into the side of the neck and the carving out of the volute look a bit unfinished. Not saying mine was much better, though *shrug* Just want to have happy customers when they receive the product, is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
