I sent a body to this company for a paint job. I had prepped it as much as I can so it had no paint and had some areas where I filled holes such as a tone pot hole. The owner lectured me for 20 minutes on products he would have used instead of what I used for filling those holes. So when I went to ship it I noticed a hole below the input jack that needed filling, probably someone put a strap button there to use as a lefty. I emailed him and he replied that he would patch that hole. I also asked if he would skip painting the control cavity and spring cavity, overspray was ok but not a full on paint. Just like Charvel did it between 1979 and 1985. Besides the fact that this job took longer than double the time he promised it, I had to keep calling as he would state he would have it by a date and that date would pass with not even a word from him. He then called me panicking on the phone looking for advice because he did the same thing to someone with a small following and they had started review bombing him. He finally delivered on my guitar body. He did not fill the hole he agreed to and he painted thick coats in the cavities which I asked not to be painted. Plus I could see red paint near the edge of the binding under the black paint. I finally brought this up to him and he spent an hour sending me texts of holes in the pickup cavity claiming it was the same as the hole near my input jack and was a factory hole. It took me a while before I could finally get him to see it was nothing even remotely the same after he spammed my texts with no less than 50 pictures. I sent him pictures of email of him agreeing to do these things and he still kept blaming me. If you want to gamble and really have no expectation of getting your painted guitar back in any reasonable timeframe then he's your guy.
