How much does ET usually charge for a complete swirl JEM?

You should probably email ET with that question.

Nice. I would have gone with a different pcikgaurd myself. But it's your guitar. Great build.

Ernie it looks fabulous! Great work!

I wanted the strat 50's specs on it.
What would have been your choice though?

[LonePhantom]

Wow that is coming up very nicely.

Hey Cos,

I've got a t-road coming as well and I've gone for the white pearl pick guard with gold hardware. But I understand your yee-oldie style strat approach - i think it looks amazing - can't wait to see it relic'd!

[ET Guitars]

Tobacco Road is on its way to cosmitron as of today. I can't wait to see it assembled with the white singles and chrome hardware, just like his vision of the 50's strat style. The tone of this thing will be monster. The body is a solid lump of American ash, its soooo heavy, and will be heavier than a Les Paul when assembled. Cos assures me he has strong back and shoulders though to wield this thing for a whole gig :-)

Thanks Ayrton. Ernie gave me a price on the neck and body but haven't heard back on a whole JEM. It sounds like he's insanely busy so it's expected. Do most people on here that are customers of his have him build the complete guitar or just purchase the bodies and necks?

[ET Guitars]

rmp..you're Robert P. yeh ?

We do both full builds and parts. Though the most work we do is parts. We've found that the shipping price of a full build in a case is prohibitive for some customers in USA and Europe, like around USD300-400, then add VATs. We are in Australia remember (the furthest point from many of you... we may as well be on the moon :-) ).

So custom parts builds are good for some customers, for getting their parts assembled locally and having their custom guitar completed at a good price.

We'll respond to your email rmp... on Monday, cheers.

Can't wait to relic it myself the natural way.

[NickCormier]

Ew. I hope a full guitar isnt that much shipped from you haha.

I just sent a new email kinda regarding that in a way, but another thing I was wondering about.. Hopefully you can reply back to me soon Ernie!

[NickCormier]

Heh Ernie is great for responding back to emails. I have work with another luthier (wont mention name) where Hes suppose to send me something back, been almost a month now with no email back, after 3 emails =/ So annoying. Ernie usually responses back within 24 hours, its great.
