New Kit Ideas - Some Explanation

[adam]

Thank you to everyone who has submitted new kit ideas. I just want you to know that these suggestions are not being ignored, this is one thread that I ALWAYS keep an eye on.

FYI, when you do suggest a kit, this is what happens:

You put up an idea, I check with our contact in China and they talk to the Factory manager. If they have made that style, then no problem. We've seen this with the Starcaster, Mosrite Ventures MKII, 4001 Bass, RD-1 and RD-4, to mention just a few that came to us through this thread (or emails to me).

Unfortunately, with the minimum order requirements for new models, which the factory has not made before, and our limited space and budget, we can't do every kit that is suggested. So I guess it's up to me (the man who has his house on the line, literally) to make a judgement call. So, please don't be offended if we don't take up your new kit idea.

Right now I've got the Factory looking into 4 or 5 new kits that have been suggested. I should have a response soon. If they can do them, then we should see some new kits that you suggested arriving in March 2016.

It would also help if, when nominating a new kit, you include a good quality image and some of the important specs that make the guitar or bass desirable.

And... keep 'em coming!

No probs Adam, all of us that have been around the sun a few time have fond memories of long lost loves.

I'd love to be able to play my old Fender VI through the mighty Lenard GB150 again but only one half of the equation is even vaguely reasonable.

Hence the left field requests and new kit ideas

sounds fair Ads, I know you stock almost 100 types of kits now so you can't expand too much more.
I'm with DK a Fender VI baritone axe would be very cool I'd be interested in one of them.
Keep up the good work Pitbull you always put the customer first

id be all over a fender VI kit cos theres no way i could justify buying a proper one, but a ~$200 kit...now thats feasible

[Nickosaurus]

Multiscale neck would be rad if it's feasible (probably not)

[Tweaky]

I love that the suggestions are taken seriously.

Maybe a simple option made available on the Telecaster builds...... A Baritone neck.

Similarly, a 12 string neck for the Strat builds [ Just Neck and Body supplied ] ....with the understanding that no hardware would be supplied [You'd need to order specific 12 string hardware elsewhere - which most do anyway ]
