Custom guitars (electric)?
Which manufacturers have this option of building custom guitars? I know Fender, B.C. Rich, but what are the others??? And which do you consider the best???
Also I wanna know which is the lowest price for custom guitar (approximately), I know that it depends on gear you have on it, but I dont need exact price. So help please if you can. Thanks.
IMO, the best place for real “full-custom” custom shop guitars is “The Guitar Custom Shop”. They can hand-build ANYTHING you want, not just a cookie cutter mish-mash of CNC parts stock like you get from the so-called “customshop” divisions of Fender, Gibson, Carvin and the like.
The lowest price for a custom guitar would be for ‘the simplest’ custom guitar made of the least expensive materials.
If you check TheGuitarCustomShop Online Quote Maker thingy, you can save a lot by supplying a lot of the parts yourself (if you have lots of parts laying around…)
here is an example….

depending on where you are, you’d have to add $200-250 for SHIPPING ( plus the cost of the parts you sent them…)
but i think thats the lowest price for a REAL custom guitar that you will find anywhere…
