Re: Some recent D'Avanzo guitars...
As much as I still love my pride and joy, seen here:
That bora burst is calling my name something fierce. God damn it's so beautiful.
Side note - as long as were talking about the contours of the JD, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention how awesome the side of the body is. The contours are brotherly and extremely ergonomic. See for yourself:

Agile, of all his guitars (which by the way I think they are ALL absolutely superb), that is my favorite model with the Zhangbuckers pups. I prefer the tiger eye burst and abalone fret markers (just my personal preference), but that guitar is amazing!!

GuitarDoc...Thanks! I tweaked the heck out of the shape to get it just right and I'm real happy with it and am glad others like it too since while I love doing S, T and other standard shapes all builders use it's nice to have something that's my own.
BriGuy...Thanks! The green one is one of my favorites I've done so far.
Diminished...There's really no one size fits all price since they're all one off customs based on customer (or my) chosen specs. Due to wood, hardware, pickups and finishes swinging the price up and down I price them per custom order. They tend to float in the $2k-$3k range to give you a ballpark. While not cheap, they're quite reasonable for one off custom guitars.

I think that price is more than fair. Especially considering what some people pay for disposable items like mobile phones and gaming consoles.
This would be for life so the price is beyond decent.

Re: Some recent D'Avanzo guitars...
kramersteen...Thanks! I keep having people who play the guitars, fellow builders and even customers telling me I need to raise the prices haha. So that's always a good sign. I've been thankful enough to have a few repeat customers too which always makes me feel like I'm doing something right when the same guy wants a few guitars from me.
Jeff...Yeah, that one was a mutt. Cool guitar but could be done better if you want one

Cdwillis....Thanks! Whenever you're ready.
Bloodrose...I'm a flame top guy over quilt but when I saw that wild grain pattern on the raw wood slab for the green one I knew it would be cool and after paint even I was shocked at how amazing it looks.
stevie....Thanks man! I've got a real cool Floyded T in the works now, check out the specs for DA.020 on my site. Not H/H, it's H/S but it's going to be cool, and the first to use my T shape headstock with a Floyd.

Yeah, it's a pretty vital area. I feel that the Fender style square heel on my old Ibz gives them a level of oomph and sustain, particularly the 24 fretter on which the neck joint starts at the 17th fret.
