Searched but can't find much on these-there is one old thread I can see here, but not much info.
Noticed a couple of these on reverb and via stores - apparently 'hand built in the UK' (though being Fender style guitars I have no idea to what extent they are 'built' and to what extent they are bolted together part casters (not really an issue for me if they use good parts) relic-ing on them is a little OTT, but the online stores that are listing a couple are describing them as 'on a par' with Fender CS guitars etc - yet they are going for sub £1000.
I struggle to see how they can be a custom built guitar at that price (which is what the basic info I have seen seems to suggest they are) but I am no expert. The official website is down atm whilst creating a new one apparently.
Anyone have any direct experience or has played one? Anyone bought one?
Cheers

They were happy for me to come and try some they had in stock at the time.
it took 7 weeks to get mine...
Dean does work with the raw materials, and he would comply with any specifications the client requests.. the more specifications you'd ask, the longer it would take.. (ie. aging fretboard )
definitely an amazing piece of a beast.....
i was surprised with not only the tone but the sustain.... its amazing... great wood quality and handwired pick ups made the magic.
being a les paul man.. i am proud to own a Fraser S-type
If this guy can make money putting these out imagine what fender are making on strats!
Prices seem to have gone up lately, they were around £899 but seem nearer £1100 now.
Ill definately be consideringnone one for my next purchase.
