she is a beauty.. nice work.
Definitely agree with the Fun and Therapy comments, one of my main aims in builds is to make them as cheaply as possible, (I'm a Life Member of 'The Cheap Arse Club') using recycled timbers, tins and Chinese Ebay hardware etc; the sale price of my builds doesn't apply to me, as apart from the few I gift to friends & family etc, I keep them all, a problem "I" might need Therapy for !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fun and therapy are good reasons to be in it!
My materials run me $15 for a $65 sale. I admit I'm in this for fun and therapy, not fun and profit.
Ah Jerry, I have that argument with myself all the time. My wife says I don't charge enough and I agree but I do want to price stuff to sell at the craft shows I go to. I try to have a variety of instruments at various prices. Lots of folks like what they see but can't afford one of my $200 fiddles so I have other builds similar to yours that I can sell in the $65 to 85 range. I also make beer can canjos that sell well at $35.
Very nice looking build by the way!
These bridges work as advertised, but I must admit I only used one out of peer pressure. I sell my fretted piezo powered builds for $65 and I see lots of builders who won't sell a build for less than $250...If I want to buy another builders product and he wants $350 plus shipping I have to build and sell 8 CBG's to pay for the one I want...so I'm just experimenting with chrome hardware and box bling .,.The most I ever sold a build for was $88 and it was a fretted doubleneck.,.,so I'm on the fence so to speak.,.do I build expensive boxes or continue with $65 builds.,.and I could really rant about $1900 CBG's.,.,:^)
Thanks Pick ! Digging the frog.,.,!! Plays and sounds good too....
