For me it is a risk; I'm very finicky when it comes to tone and taking a gamble isn't my thing at all. 'Good enough' isn't good enough. It has to be RIGHT. 'Different' is fine, but what appeals to you is unlikely to appeal to me. Yes, there are established formulae, but why then will one D-18 (for example), sound spectacular while the next one on the wall sounds average at best? It happens all the time, and custom builds are no different in that regard.
