A great link from the everythingSG forum.
One of the moderators there has done a custom build for Tony Iommi.
Simple, descriptive and plenty of pics - a good build thread:

Lou Moritz. The guy is a bit of a mad genius.
'As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.'
wow thanks Stan, that was a very interesting build diary, the only person that knows how much work goes into building a guitar from scratch is the builder !
Current Builds and status
scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck
Completed builds
scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in
I love the fact that whilst Lou builds guitars at stratospheric levels, he still contributes on a forum and shares his knowledge.

Muchos gracias, Amigo!
Thanks so much for that link Stan ... it really was an excellent read - a really well documented build and an education in itself.
Having a Rock Legend and Icon come to you for a custom build!!! ... I can't think of anything that would be more personally satisfying or professionally terrifying at the same time!!! ("hey guess WHO just asked ME to make them a guitar?" 8-) ... "OMG, what if he hates it!" 8O )
Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!
SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)
Great forum post and a great read. Thanks for the link stan!
Cheers,
Gavin.
