One of my friends brothers is a guitar tech who went through luthier school. I was thinking of getting him to build a v for me so I can get the exact specs and shape I want without paying Jackson Custom shop or ESP custom shop. My other thought was to get something like the Kirk Hammet sig model and having it refinished or buy a used rhoads and get it refretted with stainless frets.
So my question is let's say I buy a body that's unpainted should I get the body and neck from the same place or could I get a body from one company and neck from a second vendor as long as it's a reputable company?
Where is a good place to get a guitar refinished?
Or if I got a full build from a company who besides Sully makes a nice modern v or rhoads shape?
