Oh yeah, good stuff coming up. I'm concentrating on the e-scale 7 and 8 strings, getting the processes involved as refined as I can. Not sure what happens after that. Thinking more conventional 6 and 7 strings, but I don't have the details worked out, there's no time frame, it all just depends on what the right direction seems to be in 12 months or more. True custom guitar making makes no business sense at all, the only viable approach I can see is to work on efficiency and accuracy with a limited set of variables.
To be brutally honest this approach is for my own good. I don't have the energy anymore to be up late checking on forums, nor the inclination. I need all my communication in one place and I need to simplify my approach so that I can keep track of things properly. These guitars are complicated enough as it is. I've made mistakes, taken on jobs that were interesting but too complicated and time consuming, and generally not allowed for the pitfalls of real life, all of which have screwed people around. Main thing now is to put those lessons into practice.
Best wishes with the future endeavors, sounds to me like you're headed in the direction most builders should be going! I actually just posted something similar to this in another thread in this section, glad I'm not the only one who made this connection. 
Look forward to seeing what you put out with the production route, would love to grab another Oni from you!
