MattHatter Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 (edited) I have a design for a guitar I would like built, where would I go to have this guitar made, with a set neck (I was looking at Warmouth guitars but they said they only make bolt on necks) and custom headstock? What are good online sites or shops in new england to go for this? Edited May 20, 2005 by MattHatter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackburncustomguitars Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Hi! I'll build it for you, and I'll beat most prices because this is not my main source of income. I love to incorporate my customers' designs and ideas. Check my reviews on Harmony Central. Awaiting your call. www.blackburncustomguitars.com Peace, DaveI have a design for a guitar I would like built, where would I go to have this guitar made, with a set neck (I was looking at Warmouth guitars but they said they only make bolt on necks) and custom headstock?

Setch Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 I'd politely suggest you get some better pictures on your site before you ply trade anywhere. The jpeg artifacting on most of your images is so bad you can only see 3 frets on the neck! Hardly a good way to showcase your wares...

etherealprince Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 ranguitars.com The guys over at metaltabs.com are going crazy over this luthier, he has prices that amount to like 1/3 of the large US custom shops with insane quality and customizations. And its family run so quality control is tight. Im hoping to order one this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 I wonder if getting it shipped from Poland would cause a lot of extra cost, though? If his prices are superior, it may very well STILL end up being a bargain, but I'm personally (ONLY personally, I can speak for no other person!) very hesitant to order any merchandise from abroad.

rhoads56 Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 And its family run so quality control is tight. ← I love comments like that. Since when does being run by a family, or ONE PERSON who came from a FAMILY, equal quality?? Its like saiyng "its hand built so its better"....

Maiden69 Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 His prices are OK, about the same for their counter parts. There are a few things that will make it a better selection for me (if I was going to buy one) which are the 24 fret on the Xplorer with the EMG's on and no front rout. And their V is a nice design, I have seen this one a lot, I even think that Wes posted a pic of one a few months ago. With the red and with white outline. My only concern is were he is located, too expensive to ship it there if there is anything wrong with it. And that they are bolt on. With the exemption of their new models which include a Dean Dime copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
