Warmoth equivalent in the uk

[Uk Ant]

Does anyone know of a Warmoth equivalent in the UK or the EU?
I know there are places like axerus.co.uk but they just have the range of products.
I’d quite happily order stuff from Warmoth, but say I order a neck and a body and don’t go too over the top the basic bill will probably be about $400 (just over £200) which sounds quite reasonable, but then the shipping will be another $80 plus and then I’ve got port duty etc which will probably be the best part of $100 so one neck and one body are going to cost me the thick end of $600 which is getting a bit pricy.
I have a plan to build a strat, possibly super-strat, (I’m not sure which yet) and most stuff I can get over here, but necks prepped for locking nuts are a bit rare as are bodies prepped for modern trems.
Anyone any ideas?

There stuff looks pretty nice, but not exactly cheap.

I think because of the Exchange rate right now, USA custom shops are your best bet... U could try http://www.usacustomguitars.com/ might be cheaper on postage and I hear they have better customer support and take more care into the product.

I have a Wamoth build and its an OK guitar, but the customer support I had was awful, your experience may be better.
