And this has something to do with the 'Custom Shop' in what way?

Perhaps this belongs under the 'general acoustic guitar' section....

can we include guitar making supplies as accessories? we probably went over $400 anyway, and we don't own flight cases, but if we include guitar making supplies - including the mini-mill we got a couple months ago - we're way over.

That's a good point you made and I considered posting this as stated in a different part of the forum.

However as a student of marketing and research I was actually interested in finding out what the average was for people who spend allot on guitars ( custom shop ) VS people who spend relatively little on guitars. Essentially the question is if you spend on average 3 times more than someone who buys a factory made guitar do you spend more on accessories as well or is it really the same? Am I the only crazy one out there that spends 250- 400 USD dollars a year on strings alone? is that really on par if you own more than 8 guitars? So many questions that can be answered in a series of seemingly random polls spread out on various forums at different times.

I apologize if my inquisitive nature and undaunted curiosity has inconvenienced or offended anyone. I guess I was that kid in class that just wanted to ask questions when everyone wanted early recess.

I'm probably right around $300, in part because about a year ago I started getting serious about playing and improving again and bought my first really nice guitars, so I've been a bit more spendy than usual -- I've bought a Peterson StroboClip, a Zoom H1, a couple of Oasis humidifiers, some other tools and software, a good sized stack of books, and a bunch of strings and picks.

Added: To clarify for the OP's interest -- my nice guitars are all factory/small shop jobs (Gibson, Collings, Santa Cruz), not individual/custom ones, but I've spent a lot this year, and certainly the accessory spending tracks with that in my case.
