Thank you, both!
A $250k grant would allow the acquisition of custom tooling for things like plastic injection mold for 7-string and Fender-spaced pickup parts to be made. Currently available parts for those are crap quality, so I don't make them. But, I have a lot of demand for them.
A laser-cutter, which would allow in-house production of Fender-style "Fibre" parts, etching, tool and jig making, and production of similar parts for sale to others.
Additional coil winders and tooling for "gang-winding" which allows for a multi-bobbin winding setup and increases output. My coil winder cost me $15,000 in 2003.
Tooling for stamping parts that are unavailable elsewhere.
Advertising budget. We have none. Aside from several guitar magazine reviews, it's all been word of mouth (or screen)
Additional employees..prep-people and assemblers.
Test equipment
Long-term shop space.
We could do a lot with that.
