Interesting! Would love to have Dale among us here on the AGF. A web site is good, but not as good as conversation.

Interesting guitars. Pretty low prices....are they fully custom made here in America or are they simply finished here?

some nice photos of the standard offerings, but it would be nice to see what some of his custom work looks like... maybe get an idea of what woods he enjoys building with, what his personal style is. the general offerings look great, but very traditional in design. Does he crawl outside that box?

Most of the work Dale does is traditionally based forward shifted X braced D 28 sized dreads, Om sized and D 18 sized acoustic guitars, but he also builds what the customer desires as far as a true custom build to include size,inlay,binding,frets,number of frets and headstock shape and style.We have recently paid to be a vendor here on AGF and are awaiting the AGF forum to recieve funds via paypal so we can post without being considered spam.Thanks for asking about these guitars.
Here are some examples of builds for clients, His website is here. Last edited by gregsguitars; 09-04-2012 at 11:13 AM. |
