I largely agree with you Robin. No one disputes the quality of his product but it's a little naughty to give the impression you're doing everything yourself when you're not, particularly considering the starting price for one of his guitars. Whilst it's not deception on the same scale as Vertex he should be more up front as to what you're getting for £3K.
Whether they are worth the money is, of course, for the buyer to decide. He's having the same level of input as one of Fenders master builders. There's a video on youtube of John Cruz banging one together in no time at all.
They *are* hand-crafted.

If I am paying that sort of money, I want it built from the ground up, wood selected for the exact properties the builder wants, preferably pickups wound as well. All the key things that go into shaping the sound of the finished product.
That is a 'builder', rather than an 'assembler' in my opinion.
I do and its very hard work...….seems very sensible to leave a degree of the work to a far better placed person who can deliver an excellent product which @svlguitar can QC and finish...
this place is great this type of bitching thread is a fucking downer
I have no affiliation with the builder, but from a sample size of 1, the guitar I played was noticeably better than Fender CS and if I could justify the money for another strat I‘d pick SVL without hesitation
I own a 61 reserve and a Custom shop....both different but the SVL is a joy to play and with Mark Foleys pickups it sings.
Well overpriced??
Love my SVL 61 but £4k+ second hand?

It's in Japan, so possibly rare in that country.
Asking price != sale price.
