If you live in or around New Jersey then you have to check out this luthier. His name is Jeff Schloeder and he's located in Middletown NJ. He's made me two guitars so far, and I'm already planning out my next build. This is the most recent one, decked out with a set of VHIIs and a nantucket 90 in the neck. His guitars are by far the best I've ever played, and they cost less than most high end production models. Here are the specs for this particular guitar. You can check out my review of the BKPs that are in this beauty here:
