Hey Darren, I just took a tour of many of your photos. I was hoping you showed your Regal lap steel. Didn't see it, but wow! You've made some great guitars. I love the variety and inventiveness. You're finishes are unique and exploratory. Thanks for the show.
hey , thanx for the kind words ;-). means alot comming from a great builder as yourself . im workin on a killer swamp witch as we speak .. - very special .. it will be up for grabs when she's done .. ;-) all regular swamp witch are available at my site anytime .
Well it looks spot on for my money, although in my opinion if it aint a lil rough it aint ready...dont think my tiny patience would spread to that will just have to use the howling method of kick a slab a wood round me gravel lol.
Hi Darren. I saw Morgan Davis play one of your guitars. Fell in love...with the guitar (already being a Morgan Davis fan), and wanted to find out more.
Ya thought you may have built it just checking I got a sweet hook up with a cigar shop for boxes liked the looks of it checking to see if it was manufactured to get my hands on one. I havnt tried building a box yet may have too want to try a reso and Ive only found them in 7" may fit in a JFR box my new fave. Im gonna go measure now thanx for the inspiration
Actually Supro & McKinney are just brand names, Valco was the manufacturer of them both along with National/Oahu& about 3 or 4 morelap steel brands all made fromValco,even the amps.the student models are easy to spot because they're super short(meant for kids-teens)and the pro models are usually square shaped.I haven't seen a McKinney student model before seeing your video,I've only seen their deluxe models,really nice mother of pearl covered stuff with great sounding pickups!!!
Always a pleasure from one Canuck to another Brother.. Montreal Has Big Daddy Mojo in Ottawa its Melodeeman and in Nova Scotia Its D.B Customs..were taking over the world..lol :) Actually I find this all new and exciting.
Thanks Darren .. Ive been spending allot of time looking at your work , freakin awesome ! I just finished my 1st one , 3 more in the works . One is a 1958 Manitoba license plate .. Gonna do piezo rod in the bridge and a humbucker further up .. Covering the humbucker with the cutout letter is a great idea . Did you just glue / epoxy it down ? I dont imagine that interferes with the sound much or if at all ?
Thanks for the friend request! We have had some siberian linx points that looked almost the same :) btw, the one in the following picture is not a linx point but a blue silver torbie point..
Hi Darren what a pretty kitty you have!! Thanks for sharing with me~ I love the name also~This is my new baby Poppyseed at 3mo. he is bigger now at 5mo. Hope all is good for you I have been dealing with knee tendinitis ouchie! Happy new Kitten! Meowwwww^..^

Its a rather large bodied instrument, so I'm not too concerned about that, I'm more concerned about string height.

Well, since our much loved black cat, Elvis, is 16, I will tell Linda that Boozer made it to 18.
Neat on that git with a 12 string sound. I will go back and try to look for a youtube vid on the guy who gets the vid. Doc? Will go see.

Looks sharp. I like CBG's that are interesting enough just to pick up and look at as much as they to play.
