Members jhall Posted February 9, 2013 Members Share Posted February 9, 2013 Than the "boutique" builders. They will be housed in very nice cabinets and will be "bullet proofed".So if interested in one let me know. I'll also probably do a Tweed Princeton too so that will be about five or six watts single ended (really just a 5e3 champ with a tweaked circuit and a little more filtering to tighten up the bass over a Champ).I'm going to see if I can do it for 1/3 or 1/2 less than usual.

Members Wyatt Posted February 11, 2013 Members Share Posted February 11, 2013 What do you consider high quality? I built my own premium 5E3 based in my original 1960 Deluxe. I have about $800 in it because I was very picky about parts I would bput my build up against the best boutiques mostly because Inused them ad research and fr parts. If i had to sell them for income, I would nealry double that price to cover labor, shop/tools upkeep, self-employment tax, business/sales tax license and liability insurance. Still I would have to sell seceral a week to make anliving at it. By comparison Richter, Cox and others all sell great, accurate, work-horse 5E3's for $900. Which I think is about bare minimum one could build nd sell for expecting a profit. As is, more builders are getting out of Tweeds, especially 5E3's because the market is over-saturated and there aten't enough sales to go around.
