Ibanez partscaster?

Jetfire

So I'm 40 this year so I've decided I want to build an Ibanez style guitar, something fixed bridge, RG with a nice finish, maple neck etc. 

Is there any where I could get some nice quality, finished bodies in the RG style within the UK? Or if not the UK, any recommendations welcome.

Guitarbuild used to do them, but stopped a while back and wouldn't entertain making me another. Aside from that options are limited. Bodies do show-up on ebay though.

There's a guy turns up at the Newcastle guitar show every year, and I imagine he does the rounds of other shows? He always has loads of Ibanez parts,bodies,necks etc. Perhaps someone on here may have knowledge of how to contact him?

Shame about the fixed bridge stipulation.

It's a Jaden Rose, OSNJ. I even have a red and yellow DiMarzio Breed stashed away to go with it.
