Looks great, I'd like to see a gold finish! Or Black.

I quite fancy a gold with purple burst.

British boutique guitar festival is an online guitar show for us small makers, all content was created by talented you tubers, I did a couple of videos which was good fun and Joss Allen was very nice guy too, he of andertons fame.

That paisley Jnr and the purple Mojotron/lestrem are the stuff of dreams.

Philly_Q · July 2021

I like the paisley Junior!

Danielsguitars · July 2021

Thanks for the nice comments, the purple one is getting a full demo soon and I'll try and get one of the junior, they were both used in Jam on China guitar sceptic channel

Glad the online show went well Darren. The sunburst English ash axe looks particularly amazing.

It was all well received tbh which was nice, I'll be doing more demo stuff with Joss Allen at some point, he particularly liked the flat top burst.

Few minutes review of my new Evo burst, Scott poley is the guitarist for rumours of Fleetwood Mac and his channel is worth checking out too, he's a fantastic pedal steel player

Danielsguitars · August 2021

Original 58 burst, 54 goldtop and 59 DC TV model with my new Evo models underneath, as nice as the old one's are I'm really pleased with the new Evo models with lots more to come, there's a video coming soon with me and the vintage guitar owner coming soon, also Ramon goose who's a monster player with his new leopard print goose pedal

Amazing what a new phone camera does, I've got website pics and updated specs going on the website soon, courtesy of our very own @poopot ;

normula1 · November 2021

Have a wow.... very nice indeed

Danielsguitars · January 2022

I lent my flat top burst to my vintage guitar owner friend, I have huge respect for his opinion and he'll tell you what he thinks, anyway he did a short review off his own back as I hadn't asked him, I'm really pleased he liked it and got great comments.

Danielsguitars · January 2022

New workshop is getting there, floors down so couldn't resist a pic and have a play, there's still quite a bit to do, I will be doing an open day at some point

Danielsguitars · February 2022

New spray booth is finished and the demo room, all the electrics are done now, just the old side to sort out.
There's a choice of 3x10 tweed style or low powered plexi to play through, I think a relaxed demo area is a great addition to my workshop.

That really is one of the nicest 'bursts ive seen in a while. Combo of subtle ripple, colour gradation and mineral flecks - fantastic.

Hi everyone I've asked to get my thread opened up again and get back to posting up regular updates with builds and finishing.

I don't mind constructive criticism.

I will ask that people don't post up negative comments about my crap pics or anything else unrelated to my posts, I'm not a photographer, that was poopot aka Stuart who I will always miss him, he made me laugh.

My website needs updating by someone else now which I'll try and sort out ASAP, I have new models and specs etc.

Thanks Darren

Danielsguitars · January 2023

Here's something I built Marc at mojo pickups, he sent me a guitar build slab limba strat body, I had to plug the neck pickup route first, I did sg type bevel on the body then made a maple neck for it.
The pickups are utterly fantastic, tele bridge with a guyatone neck, I had a set made because of this build.

He's changed the pickguard since this was done.

Tone71 · January 2023

Glad your threads back Darren, your guitars are too good to not post pics.

Danielsguitars · January 2023

This is a very limited run of one only, never building another one, it's a firebird 1 build for a customer/friend.
It's mostly vintage spec apart from I used a 2 way truss rod which keeps more meat on the headstock and butt jointed wings.
There are no plans for these so I had to copy a friend's gibson firebird 1.
It'll be finished by end of January, it's getting nicely aged.

Danielsguitars · January 2023

This is my riffraff junior, it's built with vintage specs and hot hide glued together, mojo dog ear p90 with kluson wraparound, gotoh sd 90 tuners.

Danielsguitars · January 2023

We have a reverse firebird, these mojo pickups are spectacular and becoming a favourite of mine,just a truss rod cover and strap buttons to finish it then it's off to a new home
Looks rather nice next to my 3x10.

Rich210 · January 2023

Looks incredible!

Danielsguitars · January 2023

I'm blown away by how good this firebird sounds, playing is by Ramon Goose whose a superb player.

He came over so I could sort his strat out so I put him to work, fantastic playing and I'm blown away by how good this thing sounds, I feel a pugilist version is needed.

My 3x10 sounded fantastic.

Here's some sounds on my lightweight pugilist, it only weighs 6.1lbs.

Danielsguitars · February 2023

Semi hollow carved top using flamed English and flamed maple which has staining but customer said keep it, it'll look good when it's finished.

Review of my pugilist 59 by Dave Simpson, my version of an offset Les Paul

Danielsguitars · March 2023

Here's a new model I'm working on, this is set neck slightly bigger offset than my pugilist, gibson scale length, this one is an alder body mahogany neck with 3 single coils, trem and it'll get a blend circuit.
Also a prototype 2 way truss rod but built like a vintage one with a maple filler strip
The idea being mix woods pickups and hardware, an all mahogany version would be nice with a trem.

Howdy, Stranger!
