GUITAR- GORDON SMITH T-Graff ...truly handmade guitars from Britian CHEAP!!!

 GORDON SMITH T-GRAFF 
Yes truly handmade guitars even the Fender custom Shop uses CNC machines to cut out the bodys and necks! NOT Gordon Smith!!!
They make a wide selection with plenty of Gibson and Fender type styles and a few of their own.
My favourite is the T-Graff. I think it is nuts to get a handmade clone. If you want a Fender buy a Fender!!!
All base models can be upgraded to other woods and different PU's, colors etc. The T-Graff's basic color is the natural wood color. Check out their site. 
Attention to detail is anal. LOL At the prices you really get something special. It is well known with very, very few exceptions the resale of ANY custom guitar is very poor. Even so with a Gordon Smith you do not have a fortune tied up in it. Besides that if you keep it simple you are likely to never tire of it.
The T-Graff is the cheapest and I love it's simplicity and near retro look.

GORDON SMITH
T-Graff

$1000.00 USD
Poplar body with maple neck

Poplar is used by Gibson in ES335 construction 
with maple ply on the top. It sweetens the tone.
They made some 80's LP's with it. It sounds like Alder.
but is is more consistent in weight than Alder.
You do not get a heavy guitar but a medium weight.
In general medium weight guitars resonate the best.
Fender used its several times over the years.
You can get the T-Graff in Ash as an upgrade.
