Guitarbuild will do whatever you like. SC Guitars will provide you with a painted one but I'd personally recommend buying a body and sending to Guitar Resurrection Rich in Wales.
Also very tentative potential dibs although I've got too many projects on as it is...
I've done a parts order for my PRS Tremonti SE and it's going to get weird...
Have also got a repro PRS headstock emblem and going to pop that on and India Ink the headstock black I think (immediately after typing this I noticed the nice grain on the headstock again and probably won't go with the India Ink)... (No allusions of pretending it's a real USA PRS but just think it's a nicer looking finish on the headstock, will be retaining the SE trussrod cover...)
Need to acquire a '51 Nocaster pickup set though :)

After this Thinline chat I'm thinking once again I'd like to re-body my Tele, probably black, nitro, extra light, nice new off white guard...
It's a sorta custom jobbie made about six years ago by a UK 'builder' (well, assembler and finisher). I bought it from a mate because it was terribly cheap. It's got a fucking fab neck of unknown origin, dark rosewood board, clay dots; I've had the frets dressed, changed the guard, changed the saddles, changed the electronics, added Lollars.
The body is good because it's stupid light, ash and completely hollow, about 6lbs all in, and the colour actually looks okay under lights. Sort of.
It's bad, though, because it's a relic, it's TOTALLY the wrong shape (check the top horn outline, urgh), it's got a 70s style no-notch heel which I irrationally detest on a 62 style copy, and again it's a relic. Mmph.
What's the best source for a Thinline body? Guitarbuild.co.uk mostly seem to do the control-plate type hybrids. GSPbasses, maybe. Any other ideas?
