svl 680 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Definitely his. Looks like one of the first may be a little number entitled "The Crow".Don't know where the pricing model came from, but can't see it working in this economy. Link to post Share on other sites
atquinn 2,211 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 ... Signature guitars begin at $16,000 - $24,000 ... One can only assume that there will be more economical non-signature line. Say $6,000-$10,000? -Austin Link to post Share on other sites
Stike 1,836 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 "Here's a look at the hand-made book of sketches, dimensions and ponderings that accompanies each "Signature" guitar that I build. It's a place to draw, doodle and communicate the concept that drives the build. It's a place to record dimensions and ideas. The pages step through the thought process behind my choices—the true back-story that is built into the guitar. This is one that I'm calling "The Crow", and when the instrument is finished, the book is hand-stiched, bound with a beautiful cover of original artwork and goes with the guitar."Seems geared towards the Guitar Afficiando magazine crowd.

serial 3,631 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I don't recall any of Billy Duffy's guitars having P90s when I saw them the night before Jol did, then again, I didn't look at his Nash (and he didn't touch it at all). Billy is a Les Paul humbucker guy 95% of the time I believe. The Trons sounded great in the Falcon though!As for the market for one of anything in that price range-I just don't see it, but whatever. I think it makes things more evident who was driving the bus in the wrong direction at Hamer though.Nonetheless, I wish anybody great success in this field. Link to post Share on other sites

jisham 426 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Wonder if he'll do a white finish? Link to post Share on other sites
SteveB 131 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 he probably doesn't need to "make a living", so if a few people a year pony up 16K for a guitar he's probably happy. Link to post Share on other sites
veatch 3,573 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 It's good to see him back. I hope he does well. I find the pricing humbling, because i can't visualize how i could ever afford a guitar in that range. Link to post Share on other sites

cmatthes 20,214 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 LOL. Of course he won't build a white for ME! He made that real clear years ago when I ordered one. This one came after the infamous "Larry R." Standard debacle of 2002 or so - basically, a customer ordered a "refrigerator white" Standard, then blew a gasket and caused a huge uproar when he found/thought he found a couple of flyspecks in the white paint. I never saw the alleged defects, but as legend goes, he apparently created such a stink over it that they bought it back and stopped doing white finishes over mahogany/korina for a while: Of course, since then, there have been a number of white over mahogany/korina guitars, but some people (Poe, Jaye) made their requests during the loosely-structured, oddly-reasoned blackout period.
