As some of you might know I'm on the market for a used high end custom (or not) 7.
I've been looking for a neckthru, fixed bridge axe for quite some time and haven't been lucky enough to strike gold.
My initial idea was to avoid having one built for myself to save a few hundred bucks and the pain of waiting several months or even a full year, however it seems like I have 2 resolve to this.
As a result of my research I sent a few e-mails with a full list of specs 2 various custom shops, the outcome wasn't great.
Some didn't reply(amfisound), others had a waiting list of over a year(ran), and some others asked for a kidney and a lung(vik).
Not all was bad, Lootnick guitars quoted me a reasonable price and a building time of 3/4months which I can work with.
This is the part where I look for your knowledge fellow SS members, I found a few NGD of their guitars and I'm sure some of you may have some intel to share on Lootnick guitars and customer experience. Are they top notch? Do you encourage me to get one?
I also got a very good price for a fully custom from grossman guitars, but I'm not sure about this one, if you ever played one of their axes let me know.
I'll keep looking for a used premium 7 for a few more days or weeks at most, but I'm open to your suggestions on custom shops from now on.
Have in mind that I'm looking for superb quality, from a builder with considerable experience in neckthru construction and good reputation at a reasonable price. Also building time has to be 5/6months at most and I'd strongly prefer a EU based shop. If you need any other info to formulate your suggestion I'll be around.
I apreciate the time you took to read this.
Help a guy found his dream axe =)
