You bumped a 12yr old thread of mine for some reason asking about oil finishing a neck where at the time I was just learning about that technique. The thread was filled with misinformation and jokes from others (motor oil lol) and hardly any useful info, so I killed it and am making this one to...

Realized I haven't posted any updates in quite a while so I figured I'd show off a few of the latest creations. Full specs and more pics for each are on my site. http://davanzoguitars.com/da0011 (This one is actually for sale, cheap plug haha) http://davanzoguitars.com/da0012...

I say "finished" because a guitarists rig is never really done, is it? I know myself too well to say it's done. Last time I said it was done two days later I added the Soldano SP77 to it haha. I got sick of my mismatched cabs and wanted a matching rig that was all rack based, midi controlled...

I built myself the purple Jake E Lee inspired guitar a while back that I posted about and after that I got an order for another one (with some tweaks), so now it purple has a blue sister. Roasted quartersawn maple (with some bonus flame) on the blue and regular quartersawn on the purple...

I don't get to build myself nearly as many guitars as I'd like to but this one I do get to keep for once. It's my tribute or inspired by build to pay homage to my favorite guitarist, Jake E Lee. I didn't want to fully copy one of Jake's guitars so I combined aspects of a few and threw in my...

I've had carbon fiber parts on several of my cars over the years from hoods and side view mirrors to suspension braces and all sorts of other pats. What I hadn't done for some reason is incorporate carbon fiber into any of my guitars or anything like that. So I had the crazy idea to make a...

I just realized I never made a "formal" post introducing my new D'Avanzo guitars. After a few years of building my Clone brand guitars which some of you may remember (and some of you own, thanks!) then a few years working for Mirabella guitars followed by a few years off from guitars due to...

So I wanted an amp that was tonally between my stock '79 JMP and my 50w 5150III in general terms of it's voice (modern vs classic I guess you could say) and in its gain range. In enters the perfect amp for that...the Jim Root Terror. This thing is perfect for what I wanted tonally. It falls...

It makes an awesome guitar kickstand for pics! I remodeled my entire workshop last week from top to bottom in preparation to begin building my new line of D'Avanzo Guitars. Yesterday after finishing up working on one of the Charvels from my collection I sat it on the bench in the position...

Joe you (and Christian too since he's a fuzz junkie) may get a kick out of this vid Jeorge Tripps just tweeted a link to... 3VQR2t-MdR8

Way Huge/Dunlop/MXR have been on a roll lately with some great pedals and it looks like Mr. Tripps has another cool one on the way. The Llama has already dropped (need to get my hands on one still) but it's the Supa-Puss delay I'm psyched to try. From Jeorge Tripps twitter... a progression...
