Man this shop looks nice! Good quote system reasonable prices, good quality?

More than likely, thats swamp ash. but HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THE TREM!!! It looks like they cut up 2 Ibanez Edge Lo Pros and put em together

The trem is actually made of 2 original edge trems. Looks pretty cool but if you zoom in on the join you can see some slightly iffy string spacing on the A and D.

Still i want a shot.

Cool bro, how long did it take? Specs? Also it's gunna be hard to compete with brj build quality

shamray looks to be decent, and the prices are normal "private level custom shop" prices. i´d get a shamray customif it weren´t for the luthiers on this site

Which luthiers here offer full blown 8 string customs for $1800-2300 is my question

You're going to have a very hard time finding a full custom for something like that. You might be able to get in on one of the KxK limited run things. You might want to try BRJ, but even those aren't technically *full* customs because you really only pick from a body shape, then the other features such as electronis, bridge, etc.

But from a private luthier you're not going to find someone that cheap. If the price you were looking for was, say, $2,500-$3,300, you'd have a bit more range.

I'm not...at least not now. But shamrays quote is in the 1800-2300 range basically, so when the guy said he would get a shamray if it wasn't for all the luthiers here, I combated asking if any can compete price-wise
