Interesting....
I've worked as a design engineer for many years now doing high end comercial audio products...
As a guitar player as well I've often toyed with the idea of designing some guitar gear.... But I know very little of the marketing in the MI buisness.
Now I'd never really expect to sell many, and some people that have tried designing MI products (and even have got as far as reviews in guitar mags etc..) tell me that without endorsment (ideally some big names), you get nowhere...
The bit that has me suprised, when I looked, is that you have endoresed lots of brands - like Jackson etc, but you still use a range of other brands/makes of guitars?
So the endoresment deals arent exclusive?
Dont know why, but I had always assumed that endorsment deals would be exclusive...
So if a small independant like me came up with some designs, could artists/bands give endorsment without upsetting thier other companies/sponsors?
