I am also just on the verge of starting my own shop building custom guitars. Hoping to be completely up and running this coming spring. I build Bass, Acoustic, Electric and Cigarbox Guitars.... Here is my facebook site if anyone is interested. I am in the process right now of designing some stock models for people to check out. I have the "Kimberly Ann" which is a '72 Thinline, I used all genuine Fender electronics and hardware on the guitar. The front is Candy Apple Red and the back is Pearl White, with a blue MOP boarder between the two colors. The second Guitar model I have dubbed the "Hendrix Special", this one is a standard Tele, (Hendrix did play Teles) with a custom paint job done by my Youngest Daughter, I sprayed the base coat and she did the graphic work on the front. I used Fender locking tuning pegs, Fender tele bridge, Then I loaded it with OnlyMusic.coms repro Blues Tribute Pickups, and an OnlyMusic.com '52 - '54 Repro wiring harness. (including reproduction capacitors) And the third proto is the "Mexican Black Pearl" Every thing blacked out with black pearl pickguard, Hip Shot Locking tuning pegs, a gloss black neck (including the finger board) I loaded this one with OnlyMusic.com Lone Star Pickups and a Repro Stevie Ray Vaughan wiring harness of his #1 Guitar. Go to my Face book site to check them out and to my actual website that is under construction,,,,,,, I am working on a Hollowbody Les Paul right now and haven't totally figured this one out yet.....
