Too bad you don't do basses. That kind of work on a 3-soapbar 5-string with an active preamp would be total madness.

Re: KEA's Guitar Building Thread

That's real nice, one of the nicer independent builds I have seen. Don't mention the price because I don't want you to ruin it for me. I'll just pretend it's accessible to the average income.

Only if we have matching blood types.

UMD,
My prices are MUCH cheaper than most builders for this quality of work... I had actually been losing money the past 2 years building them. I had to increase this year.

Sorry, i cannot do a kahler at this time. I also cant build to specs of other previous guitars. I am not that skilled.
SDM,
I have a general price range as of this year. Message me with what you are interested for and we can talk.
