@etlambert Thanks this gtr sat in a store unplayable for several years,,, It's the best one of these after set up I've heard.

Wow Dan - you're still as awesome as I remember you from the early 80's! I met you through mutual friends, Paul and Barb, when you were living with your dad. Your dad entertained my son young while you tried teaching me to play guitar - hah, hah! But I still have the Washburn that you "fixed" - enlarged sound hole, scalloped nut, calibrated saddle, and pins all from ivory. It's still stands out in a crowd with an amazing voice. The years have been good to you!

Thanks,,Ponygirl,

I still miss Alaska. There is much more music & pickin going on in N.C. however ..

i have heard of zane he is a great player. my buddy had a guitar worked on by you dan and it is a killer box. do you still use walrus ivory?

[danlashbrookgtrsetup]

Not very often,,it makes a gtr bright,,most often use cow bone for nuts & saddles ,,,ebony or pernambuco for pins.

Recently I've done Hippo ivory for mando nuts,,that's the best ivory on the planet.

what guitar is pictured at the start of the video and what kind of bridge pins are installed in the guitar? great stuff

[danlashbrookgtrsetup]

That gtr is a John Arnold that belongs to Zane Fairchild,, the bridge pins are pernambuco . That I made for Zane. Pernambuco has been used for violin bows for centuries .

Also makes wonderful bridge pins that sound great.

Yes, why not join us on the UMGF?!

We would love to hear from you there. Great job on this guitar.

[danlashbrookgtrsetup]

I'm very busy at this time,,,,the best way I can serve my customers is to get things turned around quick. I do most of my work alone.

Thanks

I strongly invite you to join us please.

Thanks,

Night and day difference! Not a tone monster Martin like it should be. Great job.

[greekflatpicker]

The improvement in soo obvious.

I think you did a *tremendous* job in there.

Congrats!

Btw:who plays guitar on the intro of the video?

[danlashbrookgtrsetup]

Thanks

The gtr playing on the intro is none other than my good buddy Jake Stargel 18 years old & a fantastic picker.

I hope to get him on video in the future.
