Tortious Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 No clue if the price is reasonable, but his stuff generally isn't cheap. https://miami.craigslist.org/pbc/msg/d/west-palm-beach-dantzig-tulsa-guitar/7553330166.html 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santellavision Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I love this configuration of HB, P90 and a Wraptail. I had Roy at RS Guitarworks build me the same setup. It's become my go-to axe. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I like it. No experience with pine other than what I’ve read about it being super soft… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No experience with pine other than what I’ve read about it being super soft… I had a pine telecaster built by Jason Hilbourne. He's a really gifted luthier. I have a killer Les Paul inspired custom he built that I'll die with. The Tele sounded terribly shrill and the neck weighed down the body like a Firebird. Just not my cup of tea. They make model airplanes from Balsa... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunchee Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) Pine isn't bad when used for guitars, as long as it's HARD pine, not soft pine. This article is a very good guide to pines in general, and hard pine in particular: https://www.wood-database.com/pine-wood-an-overall-guide/ The 'hard' pines have a higher Janka rating for hardness than Alder, and close to if not harder than Korina. Problem is, guitar makers don't usually publicize which type of pine is used for their guitars, Fender is particularly bad about this. They'll tell you if it's roasted pine, but which type of pine? Good luck with that! It makes me think that they either don't know or don't care. Edited November 4, 2022 by crunchee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtoise binding on the body would have been the icing on the cake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakeboy Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Soft pine dings so, so easily….I’d have that thing relived unintentionally in 6 months….assuming it is soft pine. I had a soft pine Tele body that dented if you slalomed at it wrong…made from an old 70s waterbed…it was my first Tele and it sounded great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alextazy Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 excuse me guys, could someone tell me why people here don't seem to like Jol? he ran Hamer and that alone is in my opinion somethingextremely positive I'm just a french Hamer fan, pardon me if I don't know some old dusty file but I definately love those guitars just asking for my personal knowledge... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Jol was always nice to me. I would like to have one of his Dantzig guitars. There were custom order requests that Jol turned down. The problem was that some of the requested features would show up on another guitar made for someone else. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
