Has anyone ever had any experience with Creston Electrics?

They are apparently a small custom shop with quite the talented finishing specialist, as evidenced here:

Or slightly more standard:

From what their website says, their prices are reasonable enough for the unique quality. They range from $1800-2500, which is still in the ballpark of off the shelf basses.
They don't offer relic treatments, which is just fine with me.
I've tried looking them up on these forums but there's practically no info at all, so any input, be it good or bad is most appreciated.
