    A new direction for DB

    Hi Peeps,

    Guess it is time to bring you all up to speed....
    I know I have been quiet for a while, it isn't that I don't love you anymore, just been lurking quietly in the background.
    The knowledge base here has grown to the point where my input isn't really needed.. This was one of the goals set by me right from the beginning, and the time came where this forum had enough members with the knowledge to be able to sort out any gremlins, issues and problems and I could step back and simply lurk...

    Now for the news...

    After more years than I care to think about, the time has come for me to move in new directions and to hang up the fret hammer..

    I will still be around and part of the PBG family, but more in a consulting role for the times when something unusual or tricky pops up.
    I will still be making Dingotone, concentrating on developing new colours and improving the blend and working towards international release.

    I will also be staying on as moderator, even if I am a lurking one hahahahaaaa.

    So, remember, there is always a workaround!

    Cheers,
    DB

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Agree with Simon and Frankie. Thanks DB, and good luck with your next chapter.

    Your help and encouragement helped a lot of us through the tough times of being a beginner luthier. I know I, for one, would have never enjoyed the frustration and satisfaction of building guitars without your sage advice.

    I would imagine the Archive of banned things is being trucked across to PBG HQ for posterity.
