Any comments about these guys? Has anyone tried to build a guitar using parts from these guys?

I haven't done any business with them, but if you search this forum, you'll find PLENTY of unhappy customers.

I agree with 72 on that. Lots of unhappy folks here concerning that dude. I say that dude. cause that is all that is working for his company.

It's a trade-off concerning 'specialty' type buider's vs. the big boy's (warmoth, musikraft,etc). The big companies have a ' I'm at work' type attitude, meaning, they are on production and have 'bosses' looking over thier shoulders. They stick to a pretty strict turn around policy (4-6 wks).

The specialty type, single ran and operated type guy's tend to take about 30-40 % longer on thier completed work. This doesnt bother me, cause they tend to turn out very good work that is to be found nowhere else, like Divebombinc. I hear good stuff about them. Frankenstrat though, I've heard several bad things, concerning turn around time (months) and craftmanship (poor).

So if your looking for some high quality 'replica' type work, I wouldnt waste my time on Frankenstrat, but would check out Divebombinc. They turn out extremely good work.
