I say 'He', but I believe there's two people involved.

I believe he makes the bodies. The necks are Allparts.

I’m not sure C&Ping snippets of private conversations into the thread is going to help achieve world peace.

I think we've established that you can be creative and / or successful with or without formal training.

In situations like this, I only start threads once the situation is resolved, or a brick wall has been hit. I don't believe that was the case when this thread was started, and that's a shame.

The difference is that you can contact Adrian and ask for something not specified in the creator. In my case, neck profile, string tree etc.

Not too much in my experience 😄

FWIW, IME, they're more fastidious than 'pick and mix' might suggest. The bodies and necks seem to be well matched, and in the case of my two custom builds, the necks were built to match the profile of my '71P.

OP - once you'd placed your order, did you have much communication with Adrian? To change the spec, etc.?

The factory is in Poland.

Bought it for years and years. Shifted to Mojo ages ago. Don't miss Q any more.

When was the last time you emailed him? Maybe send a follow-up?

Yep, Adrian’s aware.

*cough*vangelis*cough*

Good work. I prefer mutes with slots cut, too. The under-string stuff isn't even enough for me, and tinkers with the intonation.

Can't agree - I think it's beautiful (but so's the original).

Hey everyone I'm aware that bands and venues are tentatively starting to put the odd gig on here and there. Personally, I don't have anything on the horizon, so I thought I'd start a thread to share everyone's experiences in this strange new world. Have you gigged? How was it? (Note: I'm not interested in the politics of what's sensible or not.. I'm sure we all have our opinions. Let's just keep it to the gigs. Thank you.)

Slightly OT, but just in case any Yes fans haven’t seen this yet...

Despite being a huge Genesis and Rush fan, I avoided Yes most of my life, ‘cos I always thought they were too flowery. Then, about three years ago. the penny dropped. I adore them now.

Has the OP told Adrian in no uncertain terms how he would like it to be settled?

Wow.. that's quite a talent.

Gretsch is a different story, I think..?

The Dutch tulip bubble lasted about four years, didn't it?

Flats and tone rolled off? That's just thump thump thump. She'll never get any gigs.
