New Custom Shop page

[adam]

Hi, I've just added a new Custom Shop page, from the top menu, which covers a lot of info about Custom ordering a kit.

It's a bit of a wall of text, but I think anyone who is genuinely keen to order will read it carefully (and it will probably put off some of the 'tire kickers'... bless 'em)

If you have any comments, ideas, thoughts or criticism, they are always welcome. Please reply in this thread.

Custom orders are a significant portion of our business, so we will continue to develop this page, hopefully including your ideas.

Ultimately I would like an interactive page where you have a drop down menu against each option, so it will give you a final price when you've covered all the options. This is something we will on over the next month or two.

What do you think?

Very cool Adam. Further down the line I have a few ideas for builds, it's good to know exactly what can be custom ordered.

Looks good Adam, I implore anyone who is thinking about custom kit to buy it through you guys...

I ordered a thinline Tele direct from China several years ago, and got a guitar that was nothing like what I ordered...
wrong routing, wrong fingerboard, wrong inlays and the excuse was they were very busy!
And to top it off all the binding cracked and fell off.

great move Ads, I haven't read all the text but this is a step in the right direction as every builder has very specific needs for a kit that often isn't available at the shop.

Sounds great Adam, I especially like the idea of drop-down menus.
With that option, you can control the correct necks etc that are compatible with a particular body.

Sorry Adam,

It's early Saturday morning and I couldn't resist...


(I felt like drawing something from scratch)

Yeah, that won't draw the ire of Fender at all.

I think it's a great idea Adam. The pull down menus would be a great idea. Especially giving cost. It would speed up the process.
Customers could immediately place there order, without the need of extra emails.
Goodluck

It would be a brilliant idea Adam, having standard prices for everything in a drop down box!!
