i wouldn't consider sold until i collected the deposit, but matthias has verbally agreed to the 2.4k tag for the customised guitar.
this tag comes after conservatively calculating my cost:-
360 - dmarzio pickups
120 - schaller tuners
73 - 6 pt. tremolo bridge
80 - nyatoh timber
20 - frets
100 - electronics
200 - colour & finishing
200 - soft case
total est. cost = 1153sgd for labour cost or profit of 1247sgd
hope to bring the cost down somehow, by God's grace & wisdom.
thank you Lord!
