    That's a sweet looking guitar Gav. Just love the butterscotch colour and the satin finish. If the DC Jnr is not one of the prettiest guitars around I don't know what is. So simple and elegant. You just nailed it.

    I love mine. Pretty much a one trick pony with that single P90, but it just sounds so good with some overdrive.

    @Wierdy, @Max, @Stan & @Rob - thanks for the kind words guys. This is the second one of these I've built in these same colours, and I think I like this satin look even better than the gloss. Rob, I absolutely love playing my DCJNR. I feels great and sounds amazing! This one is for a friend so I'm hoping he'll be happy with it.

    cheers,
    Gav.

    hi guys,

    Well, I finally got this build finished today. Neck was shimmed with milk bottle and I filed a bone nut. The action is now super low and with a little Dr Ducks she plays very nicely indeed.

    Aw, geez Gav, ... I aint sayin' nuthin'!

    ... oh, okay then ...

    ... damn fine build mate, once again ... The DCJNR really is a perennial "rocker" and you've done it justice yet again!


    Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!

    SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
    TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
    EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
    ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
    GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)
