I'm in France, so buying from him suits in terms of delivery etc etc, but as you say, you're getting what you're paying for here, i.e. not much paint.
I presume he doesn't make custom bodies as it seems he just buys them in from Guitar Build?

Although I´ve been really clear about what I wanted (vintage style jazzmaster body), communication with Bravacaster was a bit of a struggle. Throughout the (40 plus!!!) emails we send I specifically told him not to rush and that he can take his time. The end result is what matters.
The quality of the paint job was just not up to standard. Anyone with a little bit of experience with painting stuff could do a similar, or even better job with plain rattle cans, sandpaper and a sanding block.
Looking at the end result you can just see the guy didn´t do a proper prep job. On some spots the outline was out of wack and grain filling wasn´t done sufficiently.
Furthermore there were some irregularities is the paint, could have been a bug or some debris stuck in the paint. Also there is white specks in the laquer.
What jumps out most is the orange peel. Hurst my eyes honestly.
So all in all Bravacaster is great if you are on a budget and not to fuzzy about looks. And you desperately need a nitro paint job. If not then a would steer away from this company. There a plenty other options.

Wobble outline... again hard to see but it sure is bumpy
Pic of the neck pocket. Orange peel all over the show. The paint should wrap around in the pocket for a nice finish.
