Peeps also on the OSG forum may know about these but for those that dont this dude does custom handmade guitars at well under a grand. Great alternative for those looking for something funky but roadworthy on the cheap.

Those look so sweet, but I have a hard time shelling out that kinda cash for MDF and masonite... And I LOVE Dano's and Detroit. Like L - O - V - E . (Nick - if I remember his name correctly - is in metro-Detroit.) That all black Mustang speaks to me in a big way though. Damn.

Just double-checked on the site and it looks like it's only the 50's series that are MDF. The regular ones are poplar. Good catch.

Am I too blind to see base prices anywhere on the site, or is it one of those things where I have to be serious enough to ask for a quote?

He prices on a per case basis as all of the guitars are completely custom, althought i will tell you ive never seen one go for over 600.....I just messaged niksureal on OSG so maybe hell head over and fill us in.

Great find! These look fucking cool. And affordable you say?
That Nebula 50 with the one lipstick pickup is hot.

the notion of having them run up a Mustangy/Duo-Sonicy thing in a lovely shade of blue or turquoise with a flamey neck, rosewood fingerboard, and parchment or tortoise guard is very beguiling. especially if it was going to cost $600.
