If you want to sell things, people have to want them. If you don't want to build what people want, then don't sell. It's not that hard, is it?
I love how you call everyone mindless drones because they don't want your recycled guitars. Quite frankly, if I'm putting money down on a custom guitar, I want NEW parts. I'm not mindless, I've considered that opinion. Regardless of you and your artistic intents, a guitar to me is a tool to make music, not something to hang on the wall. Take up painting, or cut a cow in half and stick it in formaldehyde if you want to run an art exhibition.
