you will never build a wooden neck? have you ever?

Keep making your instruments Barry! Your are making very innovative guitars and your market will find you if you keep at it. Probably the more radical and original your designs are, the longer it will take to find enough interested players to sustain your business. Personally, as a designer I find it very inspiring that you are building guitars without using wood. Alternatives such as graphite and various composites have always interested me. The different tone characteristics available from different materials will always interest musicians who are looking for new & original sounds. As you've said, the 'twang' of your aluminum guitars seems to appeal to country players - which makes sense considering the common use of non-wooden guitars (such as pedal steel, banjo, etc.) in that context - and perhaps that will be your primary market. It wouldn't surprise me however, if your guitars could be suitable for any style of music in the hands of the right players. I'd love to hear a good grindcore or death-metal player using your 7-string model. The 'twangy' characteristics of your clean sounds might work very well for fast distorted riffs in low tunings.

I'll say this, I could never afford one, but I'd LOVE to play one.
