i  had a peek .. i think it looks pretty  dam  good  ;-)

you may  want to  reconsider  custom orders tho  ..   that can open   a huge can of  worms   ..  some people expect WAY too  much ..      or  maybe    limit  the  "custom  "   to    select   choices .

Yeah, just ask Pick about my custom Witch...which I'm already wanting to tweak, after only playing it a coupla days! I agree with Pick: limit "custom" to select choices. Otherwise, you'll spend more time e-mailing than building. :-)

Need Audio (MP3) AND video links of each guitar. Particularly effective is a vid where you have an "expert" playing, and also a "presentation" vid link by satisfied customers, such as those that appear here on CBN.

Oh, and a niggly spelling correction in your Home Page text: "...if you see anything that interest you..." Missing an S on the tail end of interest.

Also, your currently featured build boxes are "Tabak" (as in tobacco), not "Jabak." I know, I know, it looks like a script J. But the cigars are Tabak Especials or Specials.

On your History page, there are some spelling and grammatical inconsistencies, which I will add in another Comment.

There's some minor punctuation issues, like commas needed throughout in various places, but I'm not gonna play Grammar Nazi. Much ;-). I suspect some of this is just fumble finger typo's, or attempts by your word processor to be "helpful," but here's some things I noticed on first read:

More corrections on your History page:

"Trace evidence...exist of..." Missing an S on exist.

"It would seem...would be extremely cure and primitive..." "Cure" should read "crude."

"...depending on the makers personal budget." Maker's.

"Times were hard in the American south..." Capitalize South.

"...a couple of wires from the screen door and a guitar were born." Comma after door, and "were" should read "was."

In the About Me section:

"...were amazing and could keep my eyes off them." You meant "couldn't," didn't you? ;-)



You DID ask...>:-E

Awesome guys, thanks guys for all the comments, that's why I wanted it for comments before I blast it out to the world, I get right on fixing. 

Funny thing on the history page....I copy pasted that straight from wiki, but I'll change it to make it much better, thanks.  :-)

Josh,

I knew I'd seen that Wiki before ;-). Agree with Eric, your prices are almost too good! Should have folks bangin' down your e-door. If that's how you intend doing custom (form / menu), then they only have themselves to blame;-)
The gits look great, and so does the site.

As far as the custom orders go, I've done some eCommerce website before so I have a pretty good handle on how I'm going to do this and make it easy.  I'm going to make it real simple for customer and for me, they have a selection processes such as:

Online Step process

1. They pick their box (from the pictures I will poster of all the boxes, probably around 5-10 different boxes)

2. Pick what kind of wood for neck (will be 3-4 different types to choose from with pictures)

3. Pick their hardware (from the pictures I post, will be 2-3 selections)

4. Select their tuning heads (black, gold, silver and style from the pictures)

5. Select if they want frets or fretless (example pictures to show)

6. Select if they want it electric or not

7. Select if they want the neck stained (selection from 4 different stains I've done, pictures provided)

and any other selection I want to give them so I don't have to make any decision for them.  The more selection you give the customer the less you have to make decisions, all I have to do it put it together and ship it.  Doing it this way, if the customer isn't happy with there cbg it is the combination they choose, so it all comes back on the customer not yourself, this protects you. 

Never give yourself the option to make a decision for them or they will always find something they didn't like and will cause headaches down the road.  It also makes them feel like they were part of the building process, it makes them feel good, which in turnaround... possible repeat customers.  A happy customer is a great customer who then will tell others about you.   A mad customer spreads like wild fire, give them no reason to be mad.  :-)

Upon clicking DETAILs of the CBGs I could not find information on what KEY they play in, the scale length, how many frets?

Good catch, I'll put what key I tune them to, but really you can tune them to anything you want so does that really matter?  I plan on making a video for each one so they can hear what key, etc.

As far as the other details, scale length, how many frets, etc..... does the normal person wonder about details like this or just us that make cbg?  I thought about putting detailed info like that but then didn't because I thought it would be unless information that very few people would care about and understand.  There's a lot of times people put unless information just to put it..... I like the phrase "Less is More."

What's everyone's thoughts on the details, should I add it or leave it off?

Put the detail info on a sticker inside the box, if necessary. The nerdy details are just for the Addicted, and the true Seeker with guitaristic knowledge would / should contact you, anyway.

IMHO. Your site, your rules.
