Looking to sell this now to fund something else.
Bought this recently and played it exclusively for a month or so, but the bottom line is I just haven't bonded with it.
Amazing spec, absolute top build quality and an absolute dream to play. Paul is one of the top luthier's in the UK .
Once I bought it I did a bit of digging on the history of the guitar and discovered it was a custom build for a customer of Pauls. It passed through 2 other owners then on to me. I spoke to Paul directly and he sent me the spec:
It has a bigger neck than I'm used to, it's no baseball bat but it's a chunky D Shaped neck. The guitar is also heavier than your standard strat, it's more in line with a Les Paul weight wise, this results in excellent sustain and a weighty tone. The guitar is setup nice with a low playing action, intonation is bang on. Strung up with Elixir Optiweb 10-46 gauge strings. The Trem is currently set up floating.
The pickguard has warped very slightly in the middle. Not noticeable whatsoever from a playing perspective but It is there. I never even noticed it once I had my hands on the guitar. The guy I bought it off told me about it after we did the deal.
Guitar will come with a generic rectangular hardcase.
This was a £2k+ custom build, I'm just looking to get back what I paid for it which was £600. I can post it via courier if required but will need to source a box to post.

Bump, Strings have now been changed out for D'addario 10-46, I didn't like the Elixir's. I would also be up for a sale on this so message me if interested.
Bump
Good luck with the sale!
I play guitar and take photos of stuff. I also like beans on toast.
I'll be heading his way sometime next year to have my main PRS re-fretted with stainless steel frets as they're starting to get a bit worn. He's the only person I'd trust with it, based on previous experience.
Build quality wise it’s in the top 3 guitars I’ve owned. The other 2 guitars were a Tyler Strat and a Music Man Silhouette Anniversary model. It’s exceptional in every way.
Amendment to listing, the original owner of the guitar has contacted me and told me the Neck Pickup is infact a Dimarzio Air Norton.
