Awesome UK luthier building metal-specific guitars (picture-heavy)
« on: December 21, 2009, 08:06:09 PM »
Hey guys, just wanted to show you this guy's work. He's in Bristol, which is pretty close to Bath where I live, so I've been and visited him a few times. He's a really nice bloke, his guitars are great to look at, play and hear, and are very reasonably priced.
His inlays and artwork are particularly exceptional.









Also, there's a video here: http://vimeo.com/5530740

Figured there are some metal guys on here that might find these cool. His website is here: www.daemonessguitars.co.uk.
He hasn't tried BKPs yet, but I reckon they'd be a great partnership with his guitars.

Thanks for the links
I have actually sold Dylan a few Earvana nuts before but didn't realise how lovely his guitars are...

Very impressed
Comes across on video like a nice chap as well!

Wow. I'd love to see what he could do with a traditional Explorer shape!

the "about me" type part of his website reeks of the elitist pretentiousness that's disappointingly prevailent in the metal scene. But there look to be some cool guitars there.

Glad you guys are digging the guitars.

Feline: that's cool to know, it seems most UK luthiers have some kind of link to you!

nfe: I haven't read that part, but I assure you he's nothing like that in person.

dave: Hah, yeah the same thread got locked and I got a warning on UG, it was spamming apparently  :roll:

I think they look pretty lame apart from the inlays which are nicely done :)

Clearly see the mans jazz influence coming through in those guitars.

Nice work, and a bit of originality especially in the inlays and artwork.  Good luck to him.

Not my thing at all, though, and like nfe I did find all that True Metal bollox a bit offputting.
