Pricing (oh, look, and thoughts):
Couple things. I'm going to be making plenty, plenty of beautiful, unique mods with in-house materials. There is absolutely no
need to purchase your own materials. It's an option. Before many of you will be making final decisions on materials and such, you'll have ample opportunity to see pics of completed mods made with lots of woods. Be patient, sit back, relax, imaginate and muse about what you might like. If you're on "the queue", there's no rush. Buying your own stabilized is your own risk, and cost. Prices may change before it's your turn.
There's more; but let's not get complicated.
The following prices are hopeful and subject to change. If I can't sustain at these prices, they will rise.
Standard Mod: $225 + shipping (black richlite caps/button and aluminum plate)
[add: $5 copper plate, $2 SS 510+ post (post only). . . . . . maybe . . ..

Custom Body: $225 + shipping (black richlite caps/button and aluminum plate) + your cost on materials/shipping to me
Custom Matching: $250 + shipping (caps and button made of custom materials) + your cost on materials/shipping to me
Custom PITA: ~$275 + shipping (this is where the materials you provide further complicate matters; be it not really strong enough by itself, not stabilized, etc.)
Like Treebeard said: all custom and stabilized materials run some small risk of not being colored throughout, hiding a big ole' knot, or what have you.
