Sims Custom Shop?
Anyone here ever used Sims custom shop. It looks like a warmoth type place, but based in the UK and the prices seem quite good at first glance.
I'm thinking about getting a BC Rich gunslinger-esque guitar and I was looking at warmoth until I found this site.

Anyone got any reviews/other sites I should use? Are sims custom shop a safe bet? etc etc.

Edit: this is what I wanna get made, but with black dots instead of a blank fretboard:

Their stuff looked good at the London Guitar Show... but that's all I can offer.

I didn't make that picture. It was someone off the megadeth forums called "Ruins of me" I think. (I would check, but they're not loading)

I believe he used something called Lightwave 3D

Something that simple and strat based I'd think Warmoth would be the way to go. Ive build 6 strats similar in config with a few changes here and there and the wait time was very minimal with consistant quality.

Importing the guitar to the UK would hike up the price what with import taxes. I'm still considering Warmoth though.

After looking around i'm confident Sims is a pretty safe bet.
I'll contact them for a quote/wait times and i'll compare it to warmoths.
