What kind o' guitbox you thinkin'? Some people are better at certain styles than others. Also, do you have any location preferences, what with you being on the other side of the planet from the U.S. and all?

This guy's stuff looks awesome. Aussie even. And seems to have a yen for the 60's styled stuff.
http://www.harvesterguitars.com/I also love Creston's stuff:

http://kauerguitars.com/And Old Style in LA makes some great parts guitars. (They make the bodies themselves, and then use vintage parts for the rest.)

You could try Bill here....
http://www.canadianbreed.com/index.htmlHe's completing a build on its way to Oz and I think he has another to go there.
He's built several that went to Norway, word of mouth, it seems.
I'm on my second build with him now.
His specialty it T and S style guitars, but he's made Jazzmasters and is now starting to build LP style.
Bills' open to any ideas, depends what you're looking for, I suppose.
I got him out of his comfort zone with my first build, I think.
