Guitarbuild Co UK. Bodies. Anyone tried them?

Post by LuvN Guitars »

I spotted some guitar bodies on ebay from Guitarbuild Co UK (woodwoo2 on ebay). They do a variety of shapes and say their stuff is made in the UK.
Has anybody dealt with them, or does anyone know anything about them?
Their prices seem reasonable, though shipping costs sound a bit steep if you're outside the UK.

Been on the edge of my seat a few times over the auction button wanting to buy a body off them. You can get a good bargain off their ebay prices. I can't really justify buying anything just yet as I have a few things not complete and I need to do first.
They also build from your blueprints, which is nice if you ahve a proper drawing of something you want built.

Would be nicer still if they would knock up the odd 24" scale neck.

I've spoken to the guy over e-mail and he seems pretty decent - I haven't bought anything yet though.
