I've just been quoted £325 for a front-bound, front-carved Starcaster bass body by Jezz Woodroffe - I really want this guitar to happen, but I'm a bit nervous about shelling that kind of money to someone that I can't really find much info about, previous-customer wise. Someone told me that they received an unusably rough body from him a few years ago, when he was only charging £60 for a starcaster body, so the hope would be that he's come on leaps and bounds since then and changed his prices accordingly.
I'm just really wanting someone to tell me this is a good idea
Alternatively, I'm happy to consider giving the job to any other luthiers that you might recommend? I just want an unfinished body - I've already got a neck, and I'm happy to do the painting myself. @FelineGuitars - is this something that you might consider doing?
(The colour-coded headstock is just an alternative that I'm toying with, I'm by no means decided - don't judge me!)

I like the matching head stock
