I never have, but there are some here who've had lots and lots of customizations...a non-standard body shape may be in that mix somewhere.
Good luck! |

It can be done, but you need to ask why... |

Maybe you can find one in Ebay?
I'll keep an eye here, if you're interested. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I'd guess no on any custom body shape that isn't already in a mold or jig somewhere in the factory. A better chance might be something by Hamer upstairs in the corner, but then you'd be limited to a solid or chambered body. Cost, of course, would have to be no object. |
