A (very) quick internet search turned up this place - it seems they do one offs as well.

@randomhandclaps sadly not really, as the Eastwood's seem to be worth peanuts whereas the last resoglass on eBay went yesterday for over a grand...
Jeez, I didn't realise they had jumped that much. I really wanted to buy one a few years back and the only thing that stopped me was the Jack White link. To clarify I love Jack White but he wouldn't have been my reasoning for buying one and I thought it'd probably look a bit too fanboi-ish. At the time you could get one for sub £600 if you watched carefully.
Have you thought about asking the kit company if they'd sell just a body? Edit - just realised, that's all you get.

I want to sell the guitar I have to fund this ideally, so I wouldn't want just the body, I'd want the full kits they sell.
Will do some costings for the various iterations. Thanks guys
The cheapest and easiest option is a refin of the guitar you have. You know it all fits together. After that its the usa kits, there will be a bit of work to make everything fit but its a proven system that will work. Once you get onto speccing a custom body with a company that doesn't normally do them you introduce a whole new world of complexity which will end up costing you more even if you manage to get the initial shells for a good price.

The other vague optimism was based on somebody thinking they'd seen these toes of guitar kits available from China, which would be a godsend, but I've never managed to find one
