i am about to start up my side project as a formal business. i have been a cabinet maker / wood worker for the last 13 years, and through this time i have built pedal boards for personal friends and other acquaintances.
i am going to continue this hobby, but as a business. in the next month or so, i am going to turn this into a formal business as "showtime pedalboards", or "center stage pedalboards". i will have 3 lines of product. all of my pedalboards use an arched shape, which provides very natural access to all of your effects, from one standing position.
my 3 lines of product will be:
"the gallery series" - these will use fine hardwoods, and the finish will look like that of a high end guitar top. curly maple, mahogany, birdseye maple, birdseye birch, and so on. i plan to also offer an optional sunburst finish with this as well.
"the touring series" - these will be built of light weight hardwoods, and finished with a tough, durable, roadworthy finish such as rhino liner.
"the vintage series" - same materials as the touring series, but these will be covered in a combination of vinyl and tweed, for a nice vintage looking finish!
the reason i am posting this here is that once i get this formally in motion, i want to send out a couple of them, for free, to get some feedback for the website, and video reviews on youtube.
any of you guys here wanting one, just post in this thread. once i start formal production, ill draw 2 random numbers, and whoever has the post which # matches the drawn number will get a free board, shipped to your door, in exchange for the feedback and video review.
any suggestions are very welcomed.
