Driskill Guitars









If you have any interest in musical instruments in general, guitars in particular or just fine craftmanship you will love what Joe Driskill produces.

Go to Driskill Guitars and see.

Each guitar is entirely handbuilt from selected pieces of wood. Each guitar is different. All are absolutely beautiful. The workmaship is incredible, just look how he makes his own truss rods that you never get to see and he even handmakes his tremelo bridges out of billet brass! And they sound great too.

One day when I am grown up and can afford it I will get one for myself.

Question is do they sound good? I have a friend who also produces works of art, but he admits that the sound is mostly dictated by pick up quality.

Question is do they sound good as well? I have a freind who makes beautiful guitars but he says its all in the pick ups and the way the action is refined - frets, curve of fretboard etc.

Follow the link to the website. He has some samples of his guitars played through different amps.
I think they sound great with tremendous articulation.
