Obviously if you ordered a Custom shop Fender or whatever it would be built in the US but you would still have your UK dealer it was ordered through to fall back on in case of problems.
The chap who ordered from Lionheart seemed to take a lot on trust.

Couldn’t really tell from the photos, but they reminded me a bit of those really blingy Chinese acoustics with all the (presumably fake) mother of pearl tree of life and dragon inlays which all fell out and had all the problems with the bridges shifting.... please can someone help me with their brand name, it’s driving me mad...!
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

Evidently he’s raised quite a snag list; it’s unfortunate that he’s chosen to lead on the photo side with the cosmetic issues, although I can appreciate that on a ‘guitar as art’ piece like this it’s extremely important. The luthier can argue that it’s a handmade custom instrument and inconsistencies are expected. To be honest, there’s quite a few where I’m squinting and trying to figure out what the problem is.
The hardware issues are more of a red line in terms of rejecting the guitar. The frets being unseated, not reaching the edge of the fretboard, pickup misalignment and bridge saddle and voids in the fretboard wood really do make it unfit for purpose.
