Give these folks a visit.http://petrosguitarshop.enstore.com/page/welcome
Been working with Bruce @ petrosguitars.com for the last few months on some custom TRCs for my Mini / T5z / 316ce. Just received them today and I couldn't be more pleased. He was a complete pleasure to deal with. I know he and his son want to spend their time building really beautiful guitars, but for those of us who can't quite afford one yet, this was a nice treat. They are rosewood laminate (laminate is what gives the darkened carved parts effect). They incorporate my family's heraldic crest and a fleur de lis to tie in our south Louisiana heritage. They weren't cheap, but I have ZERO remorse for paying a little more for something from such a quality luthier with some very personal symbolism. Plus, I can take them off my current batch of guitars and move them to whatever's next--not that I would EVER trade or consider buying more guitars... that would be crazy, right?
