Location: Flahdaw		Soon to be even more answerable to profit margins, and ONLY profit margins.
Stockholders- "What's the cheapest and most affordable way to manufacture these guitar thingies?"

Grab your vintage USA made instruments while they are still affordable and available.

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains		Even if an individual investor wanted to purchase some shares in this offering, it wold be very difficult. The institutional big boys will get the first crack at it.

Location: Sydney, Australia		Hmmm, $200m divided by 10,000 members = $20k each. Divided by the 200 core members = $1m each. Not so doable.
