Well, since I have become a guitar nut in the last two years, I would like to see brands like Fender, Gibson & Gretsch adopt this concept, and bring out a special line where you could build your own vintage guitar based on parts from years gone by.
Fender did launch their Road Worn series, which gives you a really nice, and very reasonably priced relic instrument.
But what if I wanted one and not two pickups - making my Telecaster an Esquire? What if I wanted a painted headstock? Or how about an option on customizable cases- road worn too!
At a mass-customization reasonable price.
What a great way to build and engage a community.
Anyone out there have other industries where this could apply?
