i'd suggest a convertible! in the summertime, everyone loves a drive in a convertible.         you drive traffic to your internet site by having something there they want to look at. the whole premise behind a successful manufacturing business is making something that there's a demand for. you can detect whether there's a demand for something by the interest it generates when you show it to your friends and people at music stores who sell things for a living. you can't pick just any music store... pick one that sells innovative, cool stuff, and has salespeople interested in the history of stuff.         start by loving what you are working on. then when you have a working prototype you are proud of, take it and show it to salespeople at the coolest store in town. when you get their approval, sell some to them and use their name to get another store to buy them.         set up a site AFTER you are in the stores, and list the stores. use unusual names for everything, including your company, so that you have a unique identity that doesn't have to compete with anything else on the net. for example, go to google.com and put in vex. just vex. you'll see that despite the fact that there's a band with vex in their name and there are sites actually called vex, i got in at number 6. try typing in analog or fuller. those partial business names are not on the first page... but try keeley. right there. so think about it... you have to have a pretty unique identity to show up in the engines on the first page.         but don't put all your efforts into the net. that's really not where your sales are. the sales are always in one of two places... the salesmen/women at the stores where your products can be tried in person, who put them into the hands of unsuspecting pedal lovers. and the pedal lovers who buy your pedals and rave about them to their friends and cause audience members to crowd the stage after the show, asking the guitarist how the heck he got that weird sound.
