There are plenty of good Brittish Luthiers about, the problem is getting exactly what you want, since most people don't know what it is they want.

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.

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 ;)

To be fair, I don't think you'd have to pay customs any more on rans, as poland is in the EU now... I think I asked about postage too, and it wasn't all that much. Ran actually got back to me when I had some questions (but then gajic got back to you, mark, and never got back to me, lol, i guess that evens out).

But yeah, the thing I disliked about ran was the wait... it was something like 8 months, last time I checked! :o And +1 on legra/bob getting back to you extremely quickly, and with great info.

This is sort of a general idea of what it'll look like.

Not really a custom, but I was reading about how good these were.
