Any of you guys heard of
THESE?
Found out about them recently and I'm blown away! Hand made guitars, from a luthier based in Sussex (Chichester kinda area). You can pick spec, wood, finish, neck size / shape / radius, everything pretty much!
Lovely guitars, and their pickups are awesome. The guitar I played was literally my perfect strat sound. That old school quackiness on the in between positions and the neck was that John Mayer tone. They hand wire their pickups so you can get any set with a percentage overwound or anything to fatten bits up and have a higher output etc.
I just bought some of their pickups that are Tele pickups but similar to P90 style pickups. They aren't P90's but apparently sound a lot more like them, I'll let you know I get on.
The main question is, how do I justify buying a custom made strat when I've already got a nice Tom Anderson? haha.
As you all love pictures so much, here's the one I tried out!

They are great value for money I think. Not cheap, but the guitar you get in comparison to the same money from fender is crazy.
