    Thanks Adam. Haha no way am I linked to any financial institution. I am just addicted to building and playing guitars.

    Yeah I have posted pics of some builds under my introduction via a hosting site.

    My afterpay suggestion was just that. I plan on building and giving away several guitars for x mas and paying them off over a month without having to wait sounded good. (also a couple for myself)

    I do have a credit card with a very high limit that I could use but I don't like to use credit cards.
    When all is said and done I am just a typical Scotsman and don't like to spend money all in one hit although it is within my means and I am spending up big upgrading my home studio.

    I can relate, my nickname when I lived in Melbourne, years ago, was "Scotty"... for similar reasons.

    I think an AfterPay type facility would be great for this business and for customers like yourself, but it does concern me that it will trap some younger buyers and cause them hardship down the track.

    Will give it some more thought.
    Cheers,

    Adam

    Might be worth talking to the people, and if you do decide to go through with it, put up some warnings on it (if they let you), so poeple know what they're getting into.
    Especially stuff like the lump interest you get slapped if you don't pay it off before the due date, and what not. Of which those things aren't hidden, but aren't that easy to find for some. But, there is one that's limited to a small amount, which you could possibly talk to them and make it like $400 or something max, so they can only get one kit, and it's a small amount to pay back or something
