Looking for a custom build, what you should be thinking about?

For me it's all about the neck. How it feels and low action. I like a radiused fretboard but sure wouldn't kick a flat one aside if it feels right. I really enjoy a custom mainly for the inherent energy the builder leaves from so many hours of intense concentration creating it. Looks come last for me as I leave most of that up to the maker to do his thing. It's all about playability, sound and the artists energy radiating from it.

My custom guitars and ukes will never be sold. They'll get added to the family instrument library after I'm gone. We on our fourth generation coming up. Anyone in the family gets to choose an instrument. As long as it's played they get to keep it or trade it for another in the collection. they are never to be sold.
