Yeah man, he's real good. There's a blue one somewhere which I'll own one day: http://www.mykaguitars.com/instruments/010/default.htm

What's your budget and what sort of thing are you after?

there's a guy called Alan Brason who lives near me - excellent quality guitars. don't think he has a website though but all his work I've seen is top notch.

:twisted:

I had a custom made by Trevor Usher in Wales, his webiste is called soundsinscale - google it.

Got a custom strat for £1000...very nice guitar too (although the first neck did warp, I dont believe that was his fault). Anyhow, he made me a replacement neck for free, so can't complain.

You could get a monsterous guitar from Legra for that!

Mines pretty high-spec and cost £1330: http://www.legraguitars.co.uk/mdv602.htm

:guitar4: What the hell! £1330, Thats crazy, and the built quality looks very nice too. I think I'll go for a Legra... I'm really want something to inspire me to practice more and getting a new guitar will help with that for sure. When you been teaching basic stuff like A, D, E to kids all day you get back home and just wanna relax. Though recording helps with enjoyment.

You can get ANYTHING done, some "custom" builders restrict your neck types and body shapes, but Ran will do absolutely ANYTHING for you. Hell, you could dump water on the ground, draw an outline and send it to them and they'll make it.

The other great part is they have a damn sweet pricetag.

No restrictions + low price > anything else ahhahaha

Bob at legra will also make anything you want him to, and is also very reasonably priced. And FAR better service, seeing as I sent out for a quote from Ran back when I was exploring options and they didnt even reply. Bob gets back to you in detail the same day most of the time, next day if not.

Legra > Ran ;)

I did get a couple of quotes of different specs from Ran, but the don't include shipping and handling costs so you never know how much that will bring you over. I like the fact that Bob is based in the UK as well so I don't have to worry about import duty/tax.

good thinking.

my next guitar is either going to be an ESP LTD deluxe or a custom guitar.... probably either Feline or Legra.

save that little bit extra and go for custom, so you can get exactly what you want. You'll get a better build quality and you don't end up spending an arm and a leg based on brand naming.

+1 to that

There are some great UK builders who make some really nice stuff
By and large we're all pretty friendly and will accomadate your ideas and wishes.

I have liked Bob's stuff (legra) from what I have seen on here and regular forum members will have seen enough of my stuff for me not to need to blow my own trumpet.

And of course they can come with BKPs as standard!!!
