I do understand your thinking. Trust me. I used to come up with new ideas all the time, however the very next year it was on the market!!! So i kinda gave up on that kind of thinking, it was to depressing. There are so many inventions i could of claimed to think of before they came out that at one time i thought of mailing the ideas to myself in a sealed envelope so they would be post dated as proof, but for what....
I'm going to go out on a limb here and probably tell you something that isn't new to you, you've probably heard it before, just as I have. Seeing things through. It's good to have ideas and invent things, but without seeing them through, they will amount to nothing. If you look at this idea as just an other idea, that's all it will be. You have hurdles, but nothing that can't be over come with the same creativity that got you to make it, just used in a different way. I would not stop and move on, you have the prototype in your hand.
Many of us Newbies here are just happy enough to learn how to build a guitar. You've invented a guitar different enough that it can be patented. What does your wife think about this?
yeah, I dont plan to move on, this project is one i have kinda committed to at least seeing where it can go,
and just keep putting some effort into it, gently..
as for my wife, well, she is actually my G/F, but anyway, she thinks its great. I dont think she has much
opinion about it, certainly she would support me in almost anything i wanna try with it... even if I had to risk huge $,
so thats not really an issue..
she knows too how frequent my ideas are.. (not that I use that to belittle any idea, just sayin' there are plenty more, and she thinks thats kinda neat, i think?)
