Im interested in one of his Telecasters. Is he making these from scratch or getting the necks and bodies pre-assembled?
If you see the custom pieces on his website, he clearly can make necks - including out of matchsticks! http://www.fraserguitars.com/product/matchstick-54-stratocaster-tribute/
Put it like this:
There are people who will sell you a nitro finished body for £250 and make money out of it.
There are people who will sell you a nitro finished neck for £250 and make money.
There are people who will hand wind you a set of Strat pickups for £150 and make money.
There are people who will sell you quality Strat hardware and plastics for £150 and make money.
There are people who will level frets and set up a guitar for £100 and make money.
That’s £900 all in, the price of one of these, and all of the above business’ transactions and margins all in one shot. A simplistic view I know, but a different angle on it nonetheless.
UK built, direct sell guitars seem to start at £3K, I know most of them are complex builds but they don’t appear to be better value than the US prices we moan about.
I’d have a Probett Rocket in a flash if it were £1800 instead of £3.4K.
@dindude is quite correct. You can get a bloody good guitar for under a grand if you’re putting a partcaster together. From what I’ve gathered the people who have come to me to source a guitar are getting that custom shop experience too for 25-30% of the cost of the big brands.
