you can try the POT in guitar77. think they accept custom order also. can give them a call.
custom guitars are never cheap. quality stuffs come with a price.
but...do you really need to custom make?
theres really none out there that suits your need and taste?
think about it first..i used to gas over custom..but got enlightenments form fellow softies

I've had good experiences from Warmoth but I've heard that US Custom Guitars is a lot better in terms of their fret and neck work. I can't really compare for sure but like I said I've had good experiences with Warmoth (built a couple of guitars off them before).
To add on to what PinkSpId3r said, you should only go for a custom if you know exactly what you want in your guitar, from the wood combinations to the measurements of the neck. Otherwise, there's a big danger of ending up with something that you won't like at all, and be a couple thousand bucks poorer in the process. Besides, you won't know exactly what it'll sound like until it's put together and finished.

hahahaha. i think u should stay off custom guitars totally, cos if ure one to gripe about cost, cutting corners would mean that u might end up with something u dont want. oh wells just my2 cents.
www.usacustomguitars.com - great stuff but they are a little slow, so u can save. Heh.
My USACG neck came in today. Its stellar - but what do I know? Gotta let Malcolm look at it and do a proper setup.
Has G77's POT allow for neck customisation? Coz, the last time, I don't recall they do - what's the point of a custom if you can't specify neck dimensions?!

oh edder bro, you are soo wrong man. I remember i went to this shop, and told them i wanted to do a custom and i had all specs ready.
Upon hearing me listing out the neck dimensions and requirements, the boss just tell me that no one specs the neck "so detail one". Just tell him what guitar am i mimicking and the neck should be around the same, he probably didn't figure that it was really my specification and continue to "smoke" me and insinuated that i didn't look rich and wasn't worth his time.
Oh wait, which shop does custom guitars ah? :roll:

Oh well!
So much for "customisation".
If a newbie wants to custom something, he wouldn't know specs, fine... but usually when one is willing to spend the $ on a custom job - he knows. Or least he is willing to give his best ideals and work on it should it not turn out so fine.

Hahaha.. there is a maple neck with pau ferro board on web specials necks... it was supposed to be mine. USACG forgot to cut the platform for the locking nut.. its going @ US100 LESS than what its spec-ed for.
If anyone wanna buy that, can pm me, I can describe my specs to you in greater detail.

bro edder bro, i dare say they're more dodgy than we can imagine. In any case, if there wasn't such a service i didn't think there should be any discrimination on younger players owning quality gear....more so if it's their own hard-earned money.
As so, even my Suhr pickups order is gonna go the states way rather than going local. Support my ..|.. when i'm not getting any support :roll:
