Matt, you've gotten (as have many of us reading along) excellent advice here. Far be it for me to put myself into a position of someone who is entitled or experienced enough to offer another builder advice but I have a question/point as well:
Unless I'm mistaken, I've yet to see a full build of yours. That is, neck, fretboard or a poly/nitro (sprayed, sanded, polished) finish. I, like you, hope to be able to sell my guitars one day and I don't think I'd consider myself ready if I couldn't do those things. That's why, for my first guitar, I decided to build the neck, etc.
I don't have the history here that others, like you, do but I seem to see mostly, bodies and designs of yours and I think, only one complete guitar (the Impaler) with a pre-built neck.
Please don't be offended but wouldn't you think you'd need more experience in those areas and more whole guitars under your belt before you could go into business? You'd only be better for it.
I love your enthusiasm for what we do and look forward to seeing what else you've drawn but find myself hoping to see more than drawings and bodies off the bandsaw. Know what I'm trying to say?
I've PM'ed you before so you know how highly I think of you and hope I'm not taken out of line here. Keep it up, Matt.
Oh, and I'm a little confused by this quote by, I think, Perry...
Again, begging my pardon, would anyone outside of this forum or maybe the Moser site, know who "METAL MATT" is? I'm not sure how someone could use his name to boost their chance of selling something. I'd tend to think that the Ebay community is no more aware of a METAL MATT than they are of CudBucket or Micter etc.
