    I Do make mostly commissioned ones but each year I do three or 4 recycled instruments and supply them without cases at reasonable prices, This one is on ebay right now and its open to offers.

    You are using Finnish birch for the neck? Isn't it good, Norwegian wood?
    Sorry, sorry.
    What sort of headstock veneer are you using? What do you use for saddle and nut?

      @@marvinthemaniac7698 I have seen instruments made from my plans by others on ebay selling in this price range, (one now I can see) There were Chinese made ones doing the rounds a few years back made to my older 2006 plans with the fender style headstock. To make one yourself the costs to you is the materials and tools and time.
