Guitar User Study / bachelor thesis

Hello guys!

Let me introduce myself shortly. I'm a German Industrial Design student who just started his bachelor thesis. I've played guitar for a few years now (not well but happily :)).
What i enjoy even more than playing guitar is tinkering and designing guitars. Just about a year ago i built my first guitar (7 string, headless, fanned fret) and shortly after
i started a 4 month internship at a guitar luthier. Electric guitars will play a huge part in my bachelor thesis and for this i need some data. I've created a survey (14 questions) and hope
that people want to help me out (i know filling out surveys isn't very adventurous :D). I know there is an option to post polls here but that doesn't fit my requirements.
The data i collect will be anonymous and if you guys are interested i can even show you the result of the survey!

Here is the link to the survey (i hope i may post this here):

If you have any questions i will try and answer them. If you come across any mistakes in the survey, don't be afraid to contact me.
Thank you guys in advance!

Done. Your question that involves ranking from 1 to 5 is not working for me.

@ICTGoober Thank you for participating, much obliged. Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunatly it's my first time using this survey side (and doing a survey in general :)) so i don't really know how to fix it. If more people have the same problem and want to put in the extra effort, you can message me the answers to the survey directly. Here are the questions of the survey:

Welcome to this 5-10 minutes long survey. The data i collect, will be used in my bachelor thesis. You are not obliged to answer every question. I appreciate your participation very much. Thank you!
1) What is your age?
2) What is the maximum amount of money you are willing to pay for a guitar (tax included)? Please specify Currency if it's not US-Dollar.
3) What kind of music do you play or listen to?
4) Are you an amateur, semi professional or even professional guitar player?
5) What do you expect from a good guitar?
6) What has the highest priority when you buy a guitar (1 is the highest priority)? ////Brand, Design, Ergonomics, Price, Weight
7) Do you own a guitar with more than 6 strings? What is the maximum number of strings you'd be comfortable using? (guitar only)
8) Is there a (new) guitar manufacturer that caught your attention lately? Which one?
9) Which guitars do you use? Which one is your favorite and what makes it your favorite guitar?
10) What would be the next guitar you'd want to buy? (Brand and Model)
11) What do you think about headless guitars? Did you already try or own one?
12) Would you be interested in trying or buying guitars that are build from alternative materials (like aluminium or other metals, acrylic, composit materials...)?
13) Did you already use a guitar that wasn't build from wood? What was your experience with that guitar?
14) What is an innovation you've always wanted to see in a guitar?

Price
Design
Ergonomics
Weight
Brand
