Basically he has bodies and necks made and assembled in the far east to his shape and spec and adds your choice of hardware and set up in the Uk which is a halfway house to a true custom guitar........
Anyway here's the spec I gave Tim
Purple Quilted Maple Body
Set neck
low action on EB 9s
Bone nut
Wide thin Neck (custom 24 style)
Tree of life Inlaid neck
Open face humbucker
Chrome Hardware
and a miro switch to put the buckers out of phase Ala Peter Green (my hero)
All for £200 with hard case.....
Too good to be true?

I'm lucky! My girlfriend not only came to the guitar shop with me, she spotted my Hofner Verythin (the one in my icon picture), and insisted I buy it there and then  :D

My wife used to hassle me about it...told me I had enough guitars.  I've worn her down through the years though.  Now she realized that I actually play all of my instruments.  She's still a bit resistant, but says that if I pay cash and use the darn thing it's okay with her!  LOL ;D
Cheers!

That looks gorgeous.

I'd love a PRS, but for that price it's a good compromise.
