I'm not saying that it CANT kill you, but in my experience its been just fine. I do some made-to-order pedals and every amp i do is made to order. I just set limitations with what i'll do and what I wont, both aesthetically and technically and it means that i'm always working within the bounds I want to be in.mdc wrote: Tue Dec 17, 2024 4:12 pm I can say from personal experience that the client management/communication/expectation management/etc that goes along with made-to-order custom stuff is what kills you.
I like this. I am always torn, as every potential order seems like validation, and I like hearing about all the crazy stuff people want to build. I enjoy solving novel problems...but it is hard to maximize quality when everything is essentially a prototype.mdc wrote: Tue Dec 17, 2024 4:12 pm I can say from personal experience that the client management/communication/expectation management/etc that goes along with made-to-order custom stuff is what kills you. If there's a way to mitigate that by doing something closer to the danocaster model you'll probably end up a lot happier. Make a guitar, post it for sale here/maybe the aluminum axes group/maybe reverb? Take great photos, sell the thing, keep the prices attainable, only build when you feel like building, don't put yourself in a position of reinventing the wheel every time you have to make a guitar.
You may be built different, but I absolutely loved the fabrication side of things, and had no aptitude for the rest of it.
