Title: Wooden effect enclosures
Post by: Ang3lus on June 20, 2016, 08:06:54 PM
I recently came across a guy who does amazing woodwork for anything guitar, he also does pedal enclosures made out of wood.

I suggested he needs to sell those as the pedal market don't really have such options, I will post some examples here:

what do you guys think is a reasonable price ?

is 45$ shipped worldwide an ok price ?

will any of you be interested in such an option ?

Those do look very nice, but I don't think I could ever justify spending that much on just an unfinished enclosure.

They look great but I'd be concerned an over-enthusiastic stomp would bust the box.

Daaammnn good price if I were doing custom pedals for other people. That's truly incredible looking.

That sounds like a fair price, and I wouldn't be afraid to stomp on one assuming the joinery is good. The LP burst is to die for.

Those are pretty cool.

I might be mistaken, but it looks like he put the flame sections of the wood on the side.  I would put the flamiest section of the wood on the top of the box as that is what people are going to look down on while it's on their board.

Are those shielded from the inside?

That was my only concern, shielding, however you could use that paint that they use for guitar cavites!

$45 would double or triple the cost of making a pedal for me.
