Hi Ben,

Might I ask how many guitars you plan on building ? If you see yourself turning your hobby into a business in future then a proper machine from the likes of Jazz makes sense, but quality costs money. On the positive side, you'll always be able to sell a quality machine.

Hi,

As to how many I intend to make , I cant really say as such. Ive only made a couple so far but this has mostly been down to lack of space workshop wise. This has all changed dramatically the last couple of months and I now have a space that I am in the process of turning into a workshop. As to turning this from a hobby to a business,I have no great expectations that it would / could happen. Id be just as happy keeping it as a hobby as from past experience once you turn a hobby into a business it can soon lose its fun and initial appeal and you end up cursing something you once loved due to the stress of it becoming a business.

Even doing this as a hobby, Id want a "proper" machine as from past experience mucking about with not fit for purpose or sub-par equipment is a sure fire way of sucking all the pleasure and fun out of doing something in the first place.

cheers

Ben
