[QUOTE=Hesh1956] Builders like Lance who will make the customer a huge part of the planning process know the value of letting a prospective buyer take psychological ownership of the instrument. Just having the opportunity to pick out your own tonewood, tuners, etc. makes the "buying experience" very personal and endearing as well.

You hit the nail on the head there. The last guitar I completed I let the customer almost build the thing with me. I had him over to ok each step through the process and with each step he got more excited about it. He put the word out and now I'm starting a baritone for a friend of his and may have even another on the back burner.
