Members rickenvox Posted April 18, 2006 Members Share Posted April 18, 2006 Check out Fret King - esp. the Esprit model (Esprit III is what I would get if the exchange rate to US dollars weren't so bad right now).http://www.fret-king.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Astynax Posted April 19, 2006 Members Share Posted April 19, 2006 Several guys I know have had a Feline built for them. I've had the guy who runs it do some set-ups for me also and he seems like a nice chap. He'll build you more or less anything you want - one mate has a 7-string Ibanez type which is excellent, someone else I know has just had a white Warloclk with gold hardware constructed (each to their own!). I've seen pictures and it looks fantastic. Me, I got a Blackmachine. Like someone said, not fully customisable in terms of bodyshapes e.t.c. The main man (Doug) has very specific ideas on tone, concept, approach and so on. If (like me) that fits with your outlook then you couldn't wish for anything better. I've had it nearly two years now and have barely touched any of my other guitars. It's up to you. Both these guys are London based and I can more than vouch for the quality of their products.
