Madagascan rosewood fretboard looking very nice now, fretted then bound and leaving fret nibs
The fretboard is lovely and flat now, we're getting closer to stringing up, I'm making a nylon nut for this one which suit's these Royale models.

I sent my Gravitas to DAVY KNOWLES in Chicago so he can try it out, gig it hopefully and then give me feedback on what it's like, he's a great musician, look him up if you don't know him.
These are the first notes he played on it through a vintage 60s AC30 with treble boost.

Now some lead tones from Mike Gay, what a fantastic tone or I think so, love the backing track too.

Making guitar necks, 2 old growth Honduran 1 Spanish cedar 1 roasted 3 piece maple, fretboards are streaky ebony, maple and Madagascan rosewood, makes a nice selection and I have another 2 Spanish cedar necks to make.

My favourite part of a build is carving a neck and sculpting the heel, it doesn't get fully finished until it's string up so I can feel what it's like to play
Looking forward to hearing this one with the carbon strips fitted for a more stable maple neck

Pugilist Telepaul nearly together, I made my own tele bridge pickup ring with help from Mojo Pickups lazer cutting me a template, I only want to use a stop tail or wraparound so I needed a pickup ring for the tele bridge, I loved my original single cut version but these are better for my taste now
They're so comfortable and lightweight
Hope the les trem works OK as I like a bigsby and didn't want the weight.

Telepaul Pugilist coming soon and can't wait, this weighs 5.5lb with the neck so far so hopefully under 7.5lb finished, ...

Telepaul Pugilist coming soon and can't wait, this weighs 5.5lb with the neck so far so hopefully under 7.5lb finished, it's getting mojo pickups Tele bridge with a staple p90 neck, gotoh locking tuners and I might do a les trem instead of a stop tail.

Prepping old Honduran neck blank, there's nothing like working with great wood material to get the best results possible, even with well seasoned old wood necks are done gradually to allow for any movement then corrected before a fretboard gets glued on, I'm also Prepping Pugilist and Gravitas body's and necks in various woods, I really like limba with roasted maple for looks alone.

More happiness 👌

Think he's very happy 🤣

Trying a bit of a zz top brown sugar tone

Some quick sound clips, sorry about the crap playing, I've got much better demos planned but thought I'd share how useable all the controls are, I've never heard a better sound from a silicone fuzz that was handmade for me, I rolled all the tone off the bridge pickup, what a sound it makes. Playing through my custom made 3x10 and using a Benson preamp and a bit of reverb.

Daniels Royale 54 model Built like a 50s vintage goldtop but with modern appointments, it's lighter weight and slightly thinner yet still sounds the same as a real 54 goldtop I had in my workshop.

The Royale '55 from Daniels Guitars. taking vintage looks and tone and then blending in the perfect amount of modern playability to create a truly special instrument. Available to order for 2024.

Beautiful tones coming from my Royale 55, currently being gigged by Xander and the Peace Pirates

London gig at The Grace
