Default So I was Thinking

Dano's guitar was sent off to the finisher and I've started working on building up a number of spec guitars so that I can do a couple shows. I got to thinking
(uh oh)
I was thinking it would be nice to have a prospective customer play what I would consider a pretty well balanced guitar but, have them wear headphones and listen through an equalizer. They could then adjust the equalizer to what sounds best to them. Then I would try to make them that guitar. It could possibly bring out areas in the tonal range they favor and it may also bring out frequency ranges that they were particularly sensitive or insensitive to.
I would make recommendations to which model and wood selections and I'd work to voice the guitar to match (to the best of my ability) what their preference was.

Seems like a pretty simple test unless the right channel on the equalizer was set grossly different from the left channel. I guess the best solution for that would be to make them two guitars!

What do you think of that idea?

Mark
