Fun little milestone for my side-hustle

[blakejcan]

Finally wrapped up quite a few of my builds and listed them on my Reverb page. Shameless plug-go check it out! I have a lot of guitars up right now

Anywho, just made my first sale of one of the guitars I built & assembled. Pretty stoked that someone liked my creation enough to part with some of their money. Should be delivered today and I am super hopeful that he loves it. I'm in California and this went all the way across country to a guy that is a pro player so definitely excited but feeling the a bit of pressure as I hope it meets his standards. More to come!

But feels good that hey, maybe this isn't a total waste of my time, effort and money. Altho, to be honest.......if I HAD to keep all these guitars......I'd be ok. But I do love the idea of players getting a hold of them and clearing out room so I can build even more.

I've been wanting to do sonething like this. Problem is I'd be broke making no money owning 20 guitars cause id keep um all lmao
Congrats and I hope he loves it

 

[beaubrummels]

Congratulations. The guitars look nice and reasonably priced.

20? pssshh thats nothing

 

[blakejcan]

haha I mean.......I'm running out of room in here

I keep going back to look at that black paisley Strat. No, I don't need it, but I want it.

 

[blakejcan]

I just played it. Feels great! . The pickups are pretty awesome

There would be a BW rails/ Lil 59 combo going in it and a Babicz.

 

[blakejcan]

Wouldn't hurt my feelings a bit. I'd just be stoked someone is playing it!

I have been drooling over that guitar since you started building it. I absolutely love that guitar I just have never been able to gel with single coils. High gain and a long signal chain presents too many challenges for singles.

I showed it to my girlfriend she said I should buy it. She is not helping. I need a back up axe for my 7 string first or that would be mine.

 

[blakejcan]

That's a great girlfriend!

Just throw some stacked single coils in there to get more humbuckery

For real tho, feel free to DM me and I'd be more than happy to shave a bit off the price just to get it out to you. Even just minus the Reverb fees I'm sure we could make a good deal. No pressure and appreciate the support.

I just took 10% off. That help?
