I love the simplistic design as well.

Jamie the owner of the company and pedal designer used to go on tours with The Black Keys back when they were broke and toured in a van.

Beautiful photos, man. Ghostly remainders of the bygone life

Because it's not Daphne Blue. Fender has been using "good enough color for beggars" in Squier model lines for decades now.

These Sweetwater exclusives look more like actual Daphne Blue than Fender's Daphne Blue on budget models. Both listed as Tropical Turquoise but look different. Could be ...

Just came here to say fuck Fender

This. That Greco does look gorgeous.

Although the whole vintage guitars thing is getting annoying because of the rich corksniffers who wouldn't shut up about special tone semen from the left ball of Ted McCarthy being carefully rubbed into the wood; and although I hate Fender, that is an absolute beauty, congrats!

It looks super classy! I'd love me a 12 string someday

Does Mycroft work for the NKVD?

It's actually been considered one of the best TV/film adaptations of the book. It looks super dated now but still holds the charm

I do too but it has been a long time since I watched anything really. I used to love it obviously growing up but have trouble reconnecting with it. It's effing ironic that as a kid I would've killed for the opportunity to watch the cartoons as much as I wanted because cartoons weren't shown during ...

Loved it! Somewhat reminded me a little bit of an old Soviet cartoon based on a Bradbury's story that I watched when I was little and that traumatized me a little bit

People at Fender definitely read Offset and probably Shortscale.

It's an interesting guitar. But then my penis looks eerily like a telecaster headstock and I'm afraid they'll force me to chop it off, film myself flushing it down the toilet and then send them $500k because Leo Fender invented human ...

Countersinking it sounds like a great idea.

You mentioned you don't like bigsbys but the cheap aluminum bigsby knockoffs that you can buy on Amazon or AliExpress are said to be good

The ones that look like this

Sorry for taking so long to answer. I'm a massive procrastinator. I have no personal experience with Duesenberg/Goldo trems but they generally get glowing reviews. I was thinking about building a left handed guitar and was doing some research on decent quality left handed Bigsby esque trems as left ...

Haven't read the whole thread yet, but Deusenberg knocknoff by Guyker is garbage. I didn't buy it personally but I've read a lot of bad reviews.

Duesenberg itself doesn't actually make anything. The trems that they use and sell are made by Goldo and just branded Duesenberg.

It does look absolutely gorgeous with that neck and bridge!

Looks real nice!

That Aria is beautiful

Real Mosrites also had the neck heel that extended under the pickup. Mosrite necks had a heel that was almost twice as thick of that of a typical Fender neck. At the same time the neck pocket in the body was so deep, it left a very thin piece of wood at the bottom

Congrats. And it's probably better than the real thing playability wise
