Does Musikraft do flamed maple tops and custom finishes?

I emailed them a couple days ago and haven't got a reply yet. Just curious if anyone here knows if they offer flamed maple tops and custom finishes on their Charvel Strat bodies?

Awesome! Any idea what a mahogany Charvel Strat body with this finish might cost?

At least $500

That's not too bad.

That's not too bad.

The paintjob alone would be about $300...

If it's done right then I wouldn't mind...when I actually have the money. I'd just have to hope it actually sounds good.

LOL!
Then skip the paint... Just oil it.

Haha, I don't mind natural finishes...but a flamed top is what I want.

Plus with something like Tru-Oil, you'd save a TON of money...

I'm an idiot with money so it's alright.

+1. Even with the dye job on mine, I think I have a little over $50 in my finish (and that includes sandpaper, steel wool, wax, and rags).

Nevermind money... The guitar will be loud as fuck without a heavy finish.

Just got a reply..

"Hi Mark,
Yes we do bodies with flamed tops and could do that finish for you. A ballpark number for the whole thing assuming a really nice flame maple top and the finish would be about $700-$900.
Let me know if you want to proceed with an order.
Scott"
