Looks great. The wash of dark stain really gave it a nice feel.

Owes a little to this.

Jag pickup mount screws : Nickel plated oval head 4 x 1-1/4

When I first saw photos of this I thought the pickguards looked terrible. Saw the guitar at NAMM and it looks 100% in real life. Looks 200% better with he non-split guards of the prototype though

Love these Dano builds. Did you notice a difference between the ply frame and the pine frame as far as sound?

There are 3 or 4 videos in this series. There are actually more differences than I would have thought, though so subtle it really doesn't seem to matter.

I've seen Fran's build referenced a lot when googling "mosrite" . Great work

Looks nice and as stated if she likes it she'll use it more. Maybe not the best choice but I'm sure it will be perfectly servicable

Thanks. I'd like to eventually get another. I had SG fever and let the Deluxe go. We all make mistakes. I'll give another one a shot with 500s

At $200 you can always flip it and get your money back if you don't love it

I suppose Gibson assumed they'd be bought by lawyers and doctors and never played much

I suppose building anew body is an option but people are asking stupid money on ebay for these.

Very cool. Since you're at school who assembled her for you?

Amazing a company like that is still around.

That is just wrong on so many levels.

Nice guitar. Just sold a white one, miss it already. I used 1 meg pots, it made the guitar too bright though. I would try 500Ks. Coil taps work well too. Loved the tapped bridge HB neck combo

Think I just found my next guitar. Very cool, a smaller version of an Esquire.

Didn't realize these were different pickups in different cases than the RI Tele pickups

I had a set in a RI Tele Deluxe. Loved the guitar but never completely bonded with the pickups. I had change all 4 pots to 1 meg and push pulls for coil taps/shunts. Really liked the tapped sound but the HB were too bright. Anyone have better luck with different pot/ cap values? Is there a secret re...

All nice. Loving the Daphne blue the most
