NGD- Desert Star DSG007

[Pappy58]

Greetings all, I know this isn't where NGD's usually go, but that obscure place called "Other Guitars" isn't the right place to give this and it's creator proper due. About 14 months ago I began discussing this with our own @LtDave32 , and it has come to full fruition. The handmade one and only "Desert Bird". Hand crafted by Dave and his wonderful wife Anna. Here's a few cliff notes:

Custom Build Non-Reverse Firebird
Neck through Body construction with five layer core (Honduran Mahagony with Walnut)
Honduran Mahagony Wings
Carmelita Profile neck with dark rosewood fretboard
Jascar Med-Jumbo frets
Custom Bourbon Burst Nitro Laquer Finish
Mini Grover Tuners
Tone Emporium P-94/P-90 Pickups
CTS Vintage syle 500k, PIO Caps and 50's wiring

This thing is just outstanding in every way. Many thanks to Dave and Anna this is a piece of art and simply gorgeous.

Killer guitar!

This is a true work of art! For some reason I had always associated Desert Star with Tele - type guitars, but clearly its range of models is much greater.

Indeed, I know he has a LPJr, and a Flying V under construction as we speak.

I'm just amazed at how he turns out these awesome axes AND keeps this bunch in line at the same time!

Ya... one of those 60s folky guys.
Might have been Lightfoot... he liked long songs too

Beautiful work Dave, absolutely outstanding. I might need to talk to you about a flying V.
