What, you think I'm not a Dapper Dan man? Now I see that it's still made! Who knew - not me. I gotta get some to see how it actually works on wood but I'd still like to find an old rusty empty can.

I've actually been trying to find an old Dapper Dan can in antique stores. I wonder if it was an actual brand or something made up for the movie. I need to do research.

Jim, why would you have Dapper Dan on hand?

Thanks on both comments Unc. I forgot to add that the head is hand rubbed with Dapper Dan and buffed to a high gloss. The zero fret is how I make most instruments now. I've widened the wood string guide a bit since I've had some break off on the side. Thought about aluminum like on the old Danelectros but I like wood better.

Nice zero fret and guide too.  This is a good way to do fretted instruments.  I did it a while back, but not as well as you have done.

Very nice wood tones, but are you sure it is jen you wine?
