edgar_allan_poe 155 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 That's 'cause they didn't. Kind of a heavy post for such a placid thread, Poe. Someone call you out? Edited for redundancy. Oh no. This is *not* the way I wanted this thread to go. My response was directed at the posters who were commenting on the OP having "balls" for posting this thread. There is no reason to hold back on a custom order made by Jol. My sincerest apologies to the OP, this thread was at least partially derailed due to my post. That wasn't the intent. But I should have known better. Link to post Share on other sites
coolfeel 1,401 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 As far as I am concerned, there is no need for apology. I encourage the discussion... Link to post Share on other sites
edgar_allan_poe 155 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Thanks. My only point was that while there were vocal critics of Jol, we would in no way wish him (or his endeavors) ill will. It is good that he is still building and it is awesome news that he has a line that would be in the realm of affordable.I seriously cannot wait to see this done. I think it will be jaw dropping.

coolfeel 1,401 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Thanks Poe! I am really excited about it too! It is interesting to work with Jol with his vast knowledge. He has been very open to ideas and has offered ideas of his own - especially the one piece Limba neck design. He also has interesting stories to share - I always appreciate that. I imgaine he will send pics of the build along the way, possibly some in the near future. I will share with the board. Link to post Share on other sites
tbonesullivan 2,448 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I can't wait to see what this looks like. Link to post Share on other sites
coolfeel 1,401 Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 A quick update, I was wrong the other week about the guitar Jol posted on his blog - it was not mine. However, he did post mine this morning and sent an email to validate. It is a pic of the Limba body blank, one-piece neck blank, the ebony overlay, and to the far right you can even see the Redwood Billet and the ebony fingerboard... He has had a huge influx of orders and is getting pretty backed up... Exciting times...http://guitarguru.typepad.com/my_weblog/ Link to post Share on other sites

coolfeel 1,401 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Jol has posted another pic of my build this morning. This time it is the Redwood and Ebony board. Yummy!https://www.facebook.com/guitardesigner#!/guitardesigner Link to post Share on other sites

rj2858 430 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 He is getting pretty backed up... Exciting times... http://guitarguru.typepad.com/my_weblog/ He's probably been eating too much cheese! Love the pic of the old Fender Harvard. Don't I remember someone saying in a thread long ago (about Rick Neilsens amp in the old days), that Ace Frehley had a cranked Harvard back behind the wall 'o' Marshalls in the 70's?. Can't wait to see your C.O. when it's a guitar. Link to post Share on other sites

dboy66 75 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Just a quick note - Jol has 2 categories of guitars that come out of his shop:Signature: Jol builds the entire guitar (The Crow, Hell's Half-Acre, Sakura, etc..) Team Built: Jol builds/manages the build process of several "former" Hamer luthiers (several of these guitars are prominently photographed on his FB page)Of course, I fall into category 2. These guitars are similarly priced to the Hamer custom orders. I would encourage anyone who is serious about having a killer guitar built to consider this option.I hope that helps to clarify...OMFG! I'm stoked. I had no frickin idea.....Now everything is gonna be ok. Seriously.Ooohhhmmmm. Link to post Share on other sites

coolfeel 1,401 Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 It is presented both on his FB page and Guitar guru blog... I don't think he will write it up like a signature guitar, at least I don't expect him too... Link to post Share on other sites

coolfeel 1,401 Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Yes that is it. I should clarify that the article is not specifically about my build, it is mentioned more as a transition along with a pic.

Jackass 333 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 If you had a guitar built personally by each person, Leo Fender, Paul Reed Smith, CF Martin, Kurt Gibson, Jol Danzig, Dean, Steven Seagull, Rory Ibanez, Wally Washburn, ESP-N, etc. None of the guitars would have been built with a better personality. Believe it or not, it's not just the actual guitar building skills going into a guitar, it is also the character of the person being incorporated into it. Jol has a cool personality. His humor is dry, but he has made me laugh quite a bit over the years.Bm Link to post Share on other sites
