Thread: What to ask for in a cheap custom

You may want to ask for a genie in a bottle. I'm not sure you'll find a custom of any sort in that price range...

Have you thought about something akin to a Wacker? Not completely a custom, but well within your price range?

Beagal,

Yes, but I would have never known if I didn't ask. I have seen some customs made as low as $400 in the past and they did look rather nice, but I was hoping something simpler could be made at a lower price.

Maxi,

I have had a look at his range and saw one or two that did look good, but those damn gold washes are not my style. Plus the only one I had taken to was in the $700 range. For that price I could easily ask Jacques or Mastro Livi for what I really want. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I would suggest contacting the makers who's work you like and talk about it with them. That is the only way to get any definite answers about prices and what you'd get.
