The headstock signature poll thread got me thinking. What if all the employees signed the body before clear coat?
Still think you need one that isn't at the $4k price point. take off the piezo, swap in a hog or maple neck, and take off the bling and it should hit the $2.2k mark. The Forum Lite version - tonally great and less filling to the credit card.

It would be easier to discuss "what's possible" if we had a solid head-count.
A "solid" head-count would be easier to get if we had prices.
We can't talk prices until Shawn and I speak to Jack about really doing this. He'll want some idea of quantity. Which means we need a head-count.
We'll tell him we can't get a head-count without some idea of options and pricing.
And 'round it goes.
Bottom line: Let's keep pushing for a SINGLE set of specifications. If we have enough interest (pending details on pricing) then we can do a quick look of how many more people would buy in if we add specific options like bridge type, piezo, neck carve, and pickups. We've made a huge leap forward in recent days. Stay the course.
Good point. Let's establish 10 guitars minimum for each set of exact specs. And... we need to limit the kind of options we're really talking about, right?Just keep in mind, options=money. Gold hardware, bird inlays, fancy tops, piezo units, etc. all increase the price of the guitar. If I may suggest. Layout a few guitar models and options and determine how many folks would truly buy THAT particular guitar. You may be able to get away with a couple different variations of the Forum guitar, but "one of these" and "four of those" probably won't fly because anything with too many customizations becomes a Private Stock.

Suggestions for options: Neck carve & bridge (piezo or non-piezo)
People should keep in mind, the DC22 will balance (around your neck) better with a tremolo.
Neck carve and bridge are the only options we really need I think.
Okay....here's my contribution to this thread. Just listen, okay...read, and think about it. This isn't a real flashy idea, but the cost would probably be more approachable to more people:
Mira One or Mira Junior.
Think how cool a Mira with one snarling Deep Dish II in the bridge slot with an adjustable bridge.
Birds with a Pattern Thin or Regular shape.
Hybrid hardware and Phase IIIs.
Tortoise guard? With some one-off finishes that would be exclusive to our guitar!
Just a thought from a devoted tremolo user.

As soon as you brought up Mira, I lost complete interest. Not trying to be rude, just not interested in the slightest in a Mira.
