After Touring the Guitar Factory in Orlandos College Park region and realizing the AMAZING small batch options that existi in the music world (no this is not a dig at GIBSON) I decided to go looking for other "non mass produced" makers .......found a lot of stuff---

Cool stuff.

I really like that Diamond, Barchetta STF-FR .....Floyd, EMG, Grovers, what's not to like. And, @ $699, it's a decent price. Looks like a sharp, well crafted instrument.

It's on my radar now.

I will start a company: RVA's REcreations. The concept is just like baking with cake mix or "cooking" a TV dinner and adding condiments. I did not make the ingredients, I just put them together in my own special way. Check out a shpw called "Semi Home Made" and you will get the idea or any show by Rachel Ray and you will seeeseee what i mean
Models:

The TV dinner -a TV yellow guitar with pickups of your choice and a nut that I fabricate. Comes with foil in all cavities and electronics covered to the pont of being unidentifiable

Instant grits - A Tele, Flying V or shredder with pups over 9K resistance and a Floyed Rose bridge

Microwavable popcorn - something for the ladies or teen star. The hardware is sub-par, but the colors aredynamic so you will look cool. Perfect if you will be using a backing track or know only 3 open chords

More to come

Sounds like an idea to RVA. A whole lot of 'branded' guitars are just that - branded. You can contact factory's in china, etc and they will ship guitars to you with your 'brand' on them. I almost did that once not to long ago to sell guitars locally at the flee market with my 'brand' on them. I've also thought about buying bulk bodies, necks, etc and putting guitars together too. Go for it, man. I like you munchies concept too (probably go over big in states that have legalized pot - lol)...
