New Kits

Some new kits arrived in the last shipment. Just trying to find the time to get them up on the site.

You might have seen the most exciting one already, as I added it on Monday.

Introducing our DM-1S Spalted Maple "Dedman 1S"

Originally, this was a custom order from our good friend Dedman, but it really struck me as something unique that we could make available to everyone.

They have a Mahogany Body and neck, with Spalted or Flame Maple veneer (Body and Headstock) and there is chrome or black hardware available.

21641 The DM-1F Flame Maple "Dedman 1F"

We're trying something new with these and offering the neck and body kit only. You will get the option to add the stock hardware pack (Hardware, Pickups, Electronics, etc).

It also offers up some sweet upgrades in the product description.

One of these is on its way to Dedman, so I'm sure, like me, you will be hanging out to see what he does with it.

What do you think?

And what do you think about offering kits as Body and Neck kits, with the option to add the stock hardware pack?

That's sick! I must have one! In about four guitars from now...

[pablopepper]

Love it. Nice one, Dedman.

[Sonic Mountain]

These look great,

[Dedman]

waiting eagerly for its arrival! :)

[JohnH]

This looks great!

[chrissyinbkk]

I like the option for body and neck only as a good few of the guys on here do upgrades for tuners, bridges etc anyway,

[wazkelly]

Great concept. Would love to have one.

[andrewdosborne]

Neat design & a great looking kit!

[Rossc0]

Reminds me of my old Westbury from the late 70's v early 80's. Nice.

[zeromick]

yeeew! signature guitars!

the love chhild of a double cut LP jnr and Flying V?

[Dedman]

yep. Although I'm calling the double cut a Jet for reasons that don't involve anyone named Paul.

[wokkaboy]

cool looking kit and great concept Deddy. How cool is that you got 2 new kits named after you !

Ads I like the idea of body and neck only option as more builders these days are opting to replace all or most of the hardware

[Simon Barden]

the love child of a double cut LP jnr and Flying V?

It's very definitely a Melody Maker shaped body, not that much like a DC LPj (despite what PBG call it). But I do wonder about the wisdom of using such a distinctive headstock on a new model when trademark issues have yet to be sorted and it's been proved OK (or not) to use it.

[Dedman]

these were underway before the other kerfufell began.

these were underway before the other kerfufell began.

Custom orders usually take minimum of a few months at least as I nearly ordered an Ash body for my MMB-4 build but didn't want to wait.
