Strange but true....Twilight zone maybe...The day before I read this post I had just tried wiring a dearmond 2k pickup with a 500k volume pot into my el cheapo epiphone sj 200 jumbo. I could not understand why it had a terrible buzz/noise when the volume was turned down. I could not find any wiring ...

Thanks so much. I live in Australia so I will include a few extra dollaros.
Peter as you say this is a great series of photos.
A DVD of Dale building a guitar from scratch....now there is a great idea.
Cheers

I reckon Bigsby's are cool. I reckon you will hear lots of differing opinions on that though.
I keep checking this post at least two times a day. This is great!

Dale
fantastic. it's great watching this evolve. By the way, in the first picture of your last poast i can see that you are wearing the government regulation safety boots that are necessary for operating machinery in new zealand.

A simple question what is the angle that you have cut the headstock at? is there a "perfect angle" that should be used?

IMHO
Autumnglo will look sensational with those pickups. Dale andy thoughts on bridge/tailpiece options? By the way when I originally saw the pickups you are using they looked like those made by guitar fetish. (do an ebay search for dearmond and it will lead you to them) or click on this link ...

Thanks Dale.
I was always curious about how they were made. I would love to see a rick custom shop open up and make a limited run of 360f series. They are magnificent looking guitars.
Dale it's nice to see that you have John Hall's blessing making some Rickenbacker inspired guitars. I have owned ...

Thanks guys
I've seen piers' guitars played by heaps of people. he makes violin bass guitar like hofners and also gretsch black penguins for johnny diesel. The headsock on the gretsch says "crotsch".
My band did the support gig for You Am I the day of that last last photo from the original posting ...

Hi all
There is a great aussie band named " You Am I", lead singer Tim Rogers. Have you guys in the states ever heard of them. He plays a 360F, custom made by sydney luthier to the stars, piers crocker. he has made five of them apparently (two twelve string versions included) all belonging to tim ...

Hey
Thanks Peter and Howard. This is a great site.
Cheers

Dale,
Watching this process has been absolutely fantastic and inspiring. You have a great talent and it is unreal that a person from Brisbane, Australia can witness the work you do in your shed. I'm a musician four gigs a week and a biology teacher during the day. I have shown your posts to the ...

hey nathan
i just bought some dearmond 2k pickups. fender now makes deamond and also owns gretsch guitars. these are the old style single coil pickups (dynasonic) found on early fifties gretsch guitars pre-filtertrons.(most of you all probably know this. they seem to be about the same size as ...

hey john
maybe the supposed susannah hoffs model 620 at guitar crazy in melbourne australia is really an escaped jackson brown model. i'm looking forward to their roger mcguinn 325 as well.

"When I emailed Guitar Crazy I sent them the links to the relevant pages for the 350SH, and the 620 on the ...
