Guitar 0108 – Should I sell it?
May 31, 2008
It’s getting to the point where I can actually think of selling the guitars I am making. Yes, I’m very attached to my first guitar, and I love how it sounds and plays, but maybe, depending on how well number 2 sounds and plays, I’m ready to let it go. Anyone out there interested in a conversation about buying one of my guitars?

Hey Stephen,
I am very interested in a conversation about commissioning a guitar from you. Your work looks great! Any interest in building an all-mahogany OM or OOOO?
Please contact me.
Thanks for sharing your builds with us, love to see the progress.
Michael

I’m not sure you should sell your first guitar – or even your second. These are momentos of your craft. It may not seem like it now, but you will value these guitars in the future. Especially if #2 sounds and plays better than #1. You will want to keep #2 to play, and #1 as that monument to the beginning of your luthiering. Just my humble thoughts. Don’t even think about keeping #3 . . .

Stephen I was admiring your site and work. What a craft and gift. Excellent hobby. I agree do not eel your first few guitars you have made. SAVOR them. And then create guitars of the same quality to start selling. Anyway. I have a guitar site that goes into custom guitars and bases. I have mentioned your site and link on my page http://www.smokey123.com/custombassguitar.php
If you like my site it is my pleasure. It would be nice if you wold be so kind as to link my site on your page.
