Talk to the prospective custom builder. Many times.
Consider building it yourself. Seriously. For the cost of a custom build, you can do a course and build your own custom guitar and then you've got the knowledge, understanding and skills to look after it forever. And build many, many more.

Interesting, how come? I'd hoped to put everything into this one.
Sadly, I'm totoally useless at any kind of build, this would be to precious for me to bollox up and I can assure you that I would. Interesting that they are worth so little. I guess its custom so not to everyones tastes
Excellent point, I've been looking for 'the final one' for ages and there is aways some compromise, so I thought this might be a solution.
Custom work is a long process, I’d wanna make sure the builder is good for the duration y’know.
Wise words, lots to think about, thanks
I had not even thought about that, good point.
(As an example I decided to order a Daemoness, placed a deposit 21st March 2017 and lasted until....April 15th before I bought a Vigier to tide me over. Given that the Daemoness is no nearer to completion now than when I first imagined it that maybe doesn't matter.)
or anything as far as I knew but not sure how one would ever be 100% for sure if he/she wouldn’t? So an element of trust will still has to be had. He isn’t a young man so one could say he could stop dead anytime but then again any one of can at any age
Go for it I’d say if you can afford and the children won’t be starving if you did
Seriously - before I did my first course, I couldn't cut a piece of wood in half without something going wrong. And I'm not the only person who's gone from completely numpty to reasonably competent in a woodworking workshop as a result of doing the course.
The guy who runs it, as well as being a great luthier, is also a great teacher. He guarantees that, if you can design it, you can build it on his course.
