build pics - finished pics
« on: April 19, 2010, 10:34:24 AM »
I've been keeping this one under my hat for a while now because it's just been a lump of wood and my imagination but work has started to move a bit faster on it now, so...!

The neck in the pics is a different customers - it's just used to show how it looks with a neck on - the neck blanks are my wood (scheduled to be finished off next week). The body is off to the finisher this week  8)

The builder is Scott Fletcher of Jet City guitars in Seattle - small shop of five staff. I found him whilst browsing the gear page. He makes Wolfgang clones too.

Nice looking guitars!  But is it cost-effective to buy a US custom build, what with VAT, import duty and unfavourable exchange rates?

I understand it now.  But you were talking about things like exchange rates etc being in your favour.... which they weren't.  Unless you're a partner in Jet City Guitars.  :P

Anyway, shut up Phil, glad you're getting a good deal Lew.
