Are there any UK suppliers that would...

manicguitarist

..be able to supply 
7/8ths size strat body, routed for HSS and a floyd rose and a 24 fret neck, gibson scale length and reverse headstock (routed for FloydRose nut)?

Warmoth could do it...but that's gonna get expensive I think with import duty.

Anyone with the templates could make that. It is, to almost all intents and purposes, a Jackson Dinky.

Shuker will do it.

They make wonderful instruments.

I got a quote on a unique bass body (non standard shape, weight relief like a Sadowsky etc etc) and it was going to be about £500 fully painted and finished. But then Covid hit so I didn't go ahead with it.

+1 on that I have a Shuker T-Type and it’s incredible, not a custom as far as I know but an ‘off the shelf’ I had a GAS episode and had to have it from the photos.

£500 is cheap. Most of their stuff, looking at the website, is in the thousands!

Also...for clarity...I was looking to assemble/finish it myself.

Send Jon Shuker an email. Might take him a week to reply as he doesn’t like to be distracted when in the workshop but he’ll get back to you.

Will do

Dodged a NGD with the combination of the Shuker Tele having an Evertune bridge and the hassle of the UK now being non EU...

I'm pretty sure Crimson Guitars will customise kits.

Thanks!
I've contacted them. Let's see what happens!

bloodandtears

keep this thread updated with your progress please..  I'd be tempted at getting a body that matches that description too.. essentially a Charvel model 3 body.

Will do!

@GSPBASSES

I do make a 7/8 scale Strat (well more or less 7/8). But I can't help you at the moment, my order book is full, I doubt if I could make a start much before the middle of May. The cost is about £350 more if you have fancy woods. 

I’m still turning round my normal range of guitars in 3 to 4 weeks, interestingly since this new lockdown coming in, this is going to be the busiest January February I’ve had in the last 30 years. Obviously building a partcaster in lockdown is the way to ago.

Do you have a website/email address that I can contact you on?

If you're willing to wait for it I can highly recommend GSPs work. He built me a stunning swamp ash/flamed maple PRS-style guitar just before Christmas and the woodwork is fantastic.

Just message through here

Graham is currently doing me something similar - RG type shape. Koa top over roasted ash, roasted birds eye maple neck with ebony board. Should be a bit special. Thankfully got on the list before the book filled up
