Hello,
I'd write here for first time :)
Anyone know great luthier/builder for semi hollow JM?
Local builders also welcome, my budget is around $2000-2500.
I love my offset made by Danocaster, but I want to try new possibility.

Please let me know your opinions!

Best Regards,
Aki

Deed_poll here on the forum may be able to help you for one.

If you can 'deal' with a body pretty much fresh off the CNC you can try Saylor Guitars https://www.ebay.com/sch/alpine_oregon/ ... pg=&_from= I know he made at least one in the past.

USAG may take you on possibly, although at the moment they seem to be perpetually behind schedule.

I have one from Saylor that I got quite a while ago-7 years maybe- it's ash with bubinga top and no f hole. It's HEAVY, even chambered but I like it a lot. His do not have a "tummy cut" on the back... I've built 3 over the years since WITH the "tummy cut" on the back, sadly I never kept one for myself so it's on the build list. Unfortunately I don't do bodies/guitars for others these days, not enough time left and more of a hassle than I need at my age.

I'm sure Saylor can hook you up with a body but you will have to find someone to make it into a guitar or do it yourself-not that hard really.

I currently have a thinline Jag body from Saylor being finished by MJT. He does the JM as well. If you're in the U.K. or you want something truly custom (contours, channel-bound top, or whatnot) then Deed_Poll can hook you up.

Thank you some ideas!!
I contacted Saylor, but he does not contours, definitely.
That's unfortunate, but Saylor with MJT is still one of my plan.

and I recieved message from Deed_Poll!!
He make really awesome guitars...very intersting, so I keep in touch to him!
