Michael - Please let me know how you do. I am preparing for a hippyfied music festival in the spring and my builds are typically 3 string, fretless w/a piezo pickup w/CB's economy tuners. I will have 15 or more to sell plus lever basses, diddly bows and even a 2 string fiddle. I enjoy the building process but also want to get people involved in playing music.

My builds take about 2-2&1/2 hours and are middle-of the road in quality. and would like to sell every piece if possible. For me its about the fun building & sharing + I could use an extra small income stream. I would appreciate price feedback from yourself and others on these types of builds/festivals & pricepoint. Thanks guys - Roy

I did not sell any of them at the craft fair but it was not the right place for them. I have since sold 2 of the cbgs I brought there and a few others thru the internet and personal sales. Good luck, sounds like your fair will be a better satrt. Oh and My prices have gone up a bunch and they sell better.
