Has anyone built a Graphite USA spey rod?

I noticed that Graphite USA has some spey blanks listed in their product line. Has anyone built on those blanks? If so, what were some of the characteristics that you felt the finished rod had? Was it more Euro/Skando style, or was it a slower PNW/Skagity feel?

I think a great place to get you answer would be www.steelheadsite/speycasting/ There is a huge amount of speypersons there that have tried just about everything. Many build their own.
