A custom shop one off? I'd say they prolly start in the neighborhood of around $4K or $5K and go up from there and then the sky is the limit. I don't think I ever heard of anyone getting theirs made in less than a year. You'd need to put a sizable chunk of coin down up front.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

As many folks will tell you who have gone through the process, it isn't a fast turn-around on getting one. Seems to be around 14-18 months on average.

Not cheap either!

Have you looked at the Fender Japan models that are pretty cool looking?
