Sorry Bob. I held out as long as I could
I bet I know a guy that will be happy to make you one that is very similar

it is my experience as a retail store keeper that people buy what you have on hand. when it comes to ordering things people shy away. they want the instant gratification.
exactly! that is why you never over stock. if where doing this i would always try to have one or two on hand ready to ship. never anymore and nothing too extreme in design. just something nice and vanillahopefully
But....IMO it is DJ's artistic touch that makes his mods so unique.
You've already see them but hear you go.Pics or it didn't happen.
The top down on the blackwood to show what DJ did to make a "stepless" bore for me. Also the Koa on the left. Just because.....
inventory or made to order - the 'touch' should be present in both cases

Think I purchased all the Mods DJ had in inventory prior to other custom Mods DJ made for me.....
So indeed....inventory sells....
Given the same building blocks and input there are 3 camps IMO.
Camp 1, which I think makes up the majority of the population, can't see the potential and need to have it spelled out (or in this case actually produced) for them to get it and/or buy it. From 25+ years of retail management and ownership I'd guess that this makes up about 80% of the general population. The percentage is probably a little lower in an enthusiast forum such as ECF but not much I would think. This is not a knock on anyone, my dad is extremely intelligent, much smarter than I am, and I look up to him in many things but for some reason spatial and aesthetic things challenge him. He can tell you if he likes something but can't tell you why to save his life.
Camp 2, which I believe is a smaller percentage of the population, can see the potential and envision the end product but don't have the skills/equipment/knowledge and/or desire to actually produce it. These are the ones who will be actively involved in the decision making process and giving input to the maker. These are the custom order customers.
Camp 3, again an even much smaller percentage, are the ones who can see it and actually take it from vision to end product. These are the talented modders and builders who we are fortunate to have here. I'm guessing this would actually be about 1-2% of the population.
Given that camp 1 is a majority of the population it makes sense that having an inventory of items to choose from will drive sales.
I've always believed in and followed the laws of 3s in retail whether it be 3 levels of quality (ie good/better/best) or 3 different design styles, etc. Any more than 3 choices can cause uncertainty and stall the buying process.
When considering all this, keep in mind that 95% of all statistics are made up on the spot and that I haven't had enough coffee yet this morning
Any and all of this may have no resemblance to or bearing on actual life. Just some observations from my presently nicotine and caffeine deprived brain.
Sorry for the ramble, I hope some of this makes sense.
