On the waiting list thing - you should ask for a deposit - Ken Lawrence does that, non-refundable 20% down to even get on the list, I bet that would weed out the the time wasters
Having been lucky enough to have one of your B6's and a Lion I'd say keep doing what you are doing! Both of those guitars are amazing.
And this guitar looks very nice too:
If I had the spare cash I would totally buy that, of course I would then blaspheme by putting EMG's in it to compare the tone to my other B6 with Blackbirds in it

Do customers of yours need to put on a deposit to be on your waiting list for a B6? For the sole luthier guitars I have purchased I had to place a deposit of 25% of the final build and 10% - all non refundable.
An impression I seem to get is the volume of messages/emails luthiers who build to order receive is huge and takes up an incredible amount of time. On an acoustic guitar forum I frequent I read of a very highly esteemed guitar maker quitting taking custom orders as they'd had enough of customers cancelling orders after spending months and months of correspondence/requesting deposit being returned.
I can only ever admire those who seek to do their own thing in an industry which seems to be incredibly difficult to operate in at the best of times.
Now I normally take deposits and payments in instalments on my own builds and am happy to do that with the B6s , but he found a strange phenomenon which previously had changed the way in which I did it:
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

Oh yes right... might be curious to try the Ceramic version of the Blackbird on some of my darkest guitars at one point. Must be quite brutal. Are both bridge AND neck ceramic on this set?
