Guys, I know this is way off topic but I always want to share the new stuff. In one of my posts I mentioned that I designed a light show system for Bob Shade (www.hallmarkguitars.com) for one of his clients (Deke Dickerson). In turn he built a guitar for my daughter's collection (oldest is 5 the youngest is 3 years old).
The guitar consist of a real Danelectro neck with a dual cut shaped body - the catch is that the body is solid. The pickkups are dual blade type humbuckers in a single coil size. The bridge and tailpiece are the Les Paul type.
The action is good and the whole combination gives is a very nice sustain. I guess I'm going to be doing custom projects for this guy for the rest of my life :-)

:) Classic look, hey this model has potential. Did you design the body concept?
And yes, I could imagine certain type of performers who would be very interested in those custom ligt show stuff :wink:
Hey Alf, next time you talk to Deke tell him Jered from "The Doll Hut" says hi. Its a bar I used to work nights at. I've probably seen Deke and his band ten times. Not really my kind of music but what a nice guy, and a HELLUVA player!
Thanks, take care, Jered

the body shape is the same as the original Danelectro short horn...we simply didn't add a pickguard...the differences are in the tail/bridge, the pickups and the fact that its solid.

Jered, Bob Shade told me that he has gigged at the Doll Hut. I don't know Deke...I just developed the light show stuff for his guitar...Bob installed it and is Deke's buddy.

Hi Alf, well if your ever in O.C. CA. try to squeeze in a few beers at the Doll Hut. Great little roadhouse bar with live original bands every night and $2 Rolling Rocks. Its about a mile north of Disneyland.

A year ago I went to a fiber optics convention (in a "previous life" I was working for a telecom equipment manufacturer) and it was near Disney(Anaheim)....I didn't know anybody so I ended check the local places and used gear stores ...I did go to the Carvin store and spend time playing their guitars thru the Legacy amp... I noticed that most of their amps were pretty noisy - I guess you have to buy their stuff, retube it and rebias and then it will sound good. I doubt very much that Steve Vai will use a Legacy right out of the factory.
