Hey Adam you should check out http://www.etsy.com/shop/smokinaxe, Danny runs a great shop. The guitars are beautiful and sound really nice. I have three of his builds and they are my go to Guitars at shows. I have a couple videos using them if you want to check them out. I have great builds from different builders but I must say my Smokin' Axe CBGs are my favorite, it really comes down to how the neck feels on these guitars. Its really comfortable to play and the bridge is adjustable so you can play slide or fretting. Check them out I'm not sure if he has any up right now but he can make something custom to your desired specifications and its definately affordable.
