Thanks very much guys
PeteM - I was just saying over at RG that I like to avoid using more expensive parts when possible. I don't mean using mineral glass or anything crap like that, but it's the subtleties that push the price of these up, up and over the top
eg
This build would sell for about $400 + fees & shipping
Now $400 to me is allot of cash but if the vintage is good, it's worth that much to me
But say I wanted to take it a step further with these awesome and beautiful mods;
NW CG
Lug pins
Solid plexi
Brass Crown & Tube
Reshape
You've just more than doubled the price of your build
Is it worth it?
If you're a vintage aficionado than yes, because you're not going to be happy with shortcomings of the $400 piece. For the other 99% of the population??
This is why I like to make reasonably priced vintages
