Members BeeTL Posted August 3, 2012 Members Share Posted August 3, 2012 I've stumbled on a little known "secret" in the Made in the USA guitar industry. Perhaps it's just something that most people don't give much thought to, but for the little guitar builder with big dreams, it's like being given the keys to the kingdom. So, what is it? A builder like me can produce a product FROM DAY ONE that competes directly with the best of the best, simply because many of them buy their parts from the same place, Best Guitar Parts. The problem is, because of non-disclosure agreements, BGP can't talk about the work they do for other builders. But I don't intend to have them sign an NDA, so I can talk about them and, if they like, they can talk about what they're doing for me. I think this could be a LOT of fun!

Members Perfessor Posted August 3, 2012 Members Share Posted August 3, 2012 I know the guy who owns a guitar company. I was there when he unpacked a guitar body. He does spray paint them and he assembles them, then charges $1000 for a telecaster ripoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BeeTL Posted August 3, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 3, 2012 You've described how a good portion of the guitar business works, especially for folks who do F-style instruments. However, if you want to do a one-off for your own use, a small batch "group-buy", or try to make a go of doing your own thing, it's a pretty sweet option.
