Yes, I'd thought of trying that, using contacts in some of the local shops to see if that would ease the way. But it's early days yet and we're nowhere ready to start the detailed planning yet. I should ask around when I'm next in any of the Wellington or Lower Hutt shops.
But as I'm definitely going to use the opportunity of the trip to buy another guitar anyway it would be nice to be able to collect it direct from the Custom Shop if I decide to go down that route (I really fancy a thin skin 3 tone S/B double bound tele body with a maple strat neck, 6105 frets, 9.5in radius and some additional wiring options rather than just a 3 way switch! Bit of a Blind Faith tele/strat hybrid with some extras, I suppose).
But then again, I could be swayed by hanging on and just seeing what might catch my eye when I'm going round stores in the US. There just seems to be so much more choice and the prices are so much better over there.
I've got plenty time to decide as it'll be next year anyway before we're able to do this trip.
Are you the same vintage 52 as on Trade Me, by any chance??
