Of course. None of us really know the steps involved in, for example, a custom scale length - maybe it’s a practical proposition for an X7/20/30, and not for a Kestrel.

This, too, will pass. I’m sure that as Emerald’s expansion plans settle, and production gets smoother and more predictable, custom options will find their way back into the Builder as standard options.

In the meantime, I’m hard pressed to find any maker who offers anywhere near the same level of variation across such a broad range of instruments at the click of a button.

Rainsong might ultimately have something close (necks, finishes), but they’ve done a mysteriously, and spectacularly, poor job at making their customers aware. The Rainsong website is a dog’s breakfast.

Maybe the infamous ‘Ted’ is actually Rainsong’s 3D Builder?
