“<\/strong>Words don\u2019t even come close to capturing what this instrument means to me. Danny built something beyond my own conception of a perfect guitar, and it still excites and inspires me each day I play or even look at it.<\/p>\n The process<\/strong><\/p>\n What a truly magical experience it was to be at Danny\u2019s shop to watch the guitar go from slabs to stringed. Danny is so passionate about his instruments and it shows in every way. Watching him bring the guitar to life was incredible. We took measurements of my personal favorite guitars and discussed tones we wanted to capture. I have a background in classical guitar, as does Danny, so we were inspired to capture that element as well\u2026.and of course he did, in both aesthetics and sound. This guitar truly is the perfect guitar for me in every single way and I can\u2019t thank Danny and Anjuli enough.<\/p>\n Aesthetics<\/strong><\/p>\n This guitar is simply beautiful. I loved his Honduran mahogany stash he had in the back of his shop and WOW. With the maple binding, it gives off a \u201chalo\u201d affect that is so clear in defining the overall shape of the guitar body.<\/p>\n The shape was exactly what I was looking for. Simple, proportional, and optimal for sound. Also an overall sense of \u201ctradition\u201d with the innovative touches of modern elements such as the tail piece, head stock, and that gorgeously streaked Macassar ebony for the fingerboard, bridge, tail piece, and headstock veneer.<\/p>\n The top is a stunning bear claw spruce that I immediately fell in love with and the brown finish blended beautifully with the mahogany, giving that \u201chalo\u201d affect of the maple binding all the way thru the guitars outline. Truly a stunning instrument to look at from every angle.<\/p>\n The Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n When I first played the guitar, it was baffling how balanced the frequencies were within the guitar. It is so light weight and so full in its projection, much like a masterfully built classical guitar. All of the harmonies already \u201cfit\u201d. The trebles just effortlessly float through the mid range harmonies, with the bass filling and resonating full and clear and this was just naturally from the guitar, without me putting any extra into dynamic expressions yet. It really has a piano-like feel to how it resonates within itself with incredible and effortless sustain. It is a true joy to play as just an acoustic guitar.<\/p>\n The Ron Ellis pickup was a must. With the volume rolled off a little and the tone knob rolled off \u00a0a little more than the volume knob, it is an incredible capturing of the acoustic sound of this guitar\u2026.with the option for a little more. The pick up can put some juice on it and give a nice lively electric punch familiar to traditional PAF pickup electric guitars. This guitar has been a dream to play in solo, duo, trio, and quartet settings at varying volumes and rooms.<\/p>\n All in all, this guitar checked off not only all the boxes I wanted in a fine custom archtop, Danny checked off boxes I wasn\u2019t even aware of until going through the process and watching him bring this dream guitar of mine to life. Such an incredible guy all the way around and his guitars undoubtedly show it.” \u00a0–Eddie Campbell\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n #075 BlueLine Specifications<\/strong><\/p>\n \u202216.25\u2033 Lower Bout, 12.75\u2033 Upper Bout, 21\u2033 Body length, and a 2 3\/4\u2033 Depth <\/p>\n
