So sorry to her that Bravewood has another dissatisfied customer. I too had a very disappointing experience with John at Bravewood about 6 or 7 years ago! . He took on a job for me to plug a jazz bass pick up routing in the body of my 1972 Fender P Bass and then refinished it in fiesta red nitro with moderate relicing. Pictures of my bass at various stages of work were posted on his website. The work took a good six months to finish and I eagerly opened my package when it arrived. Wow what a disappointment! You could clearly see the plugged pickup routing as it has sunk slightly in the nitro paint. Not at all what i was perpared for! I rang John straight away and he was shocked that I was not happy. He was very abrupt to me on the phone. Not what I had expected considering I had shelled out more than £300 for this job. He told me that it was to be expected because nitro paint was so thin! Shame he never once mentioned this when I was asking him for a price to route and plug this pickup hole to hide the modification on the phone some 6 months previous! Even supplied him with some detailed phots of the body by email prior to the deal being struck! Low and behold almost immediately on haging up the phone, all of the photos from the work he had done on my bass were removed from his website and a statement posted that he would not be taking on any more work on Fenders unless they were pre CBS. We pays our money and takes our choice I guess! I will personally never be asking Bravewood guitars to carry out any work on my guitars or supply me any relic parts.
