| Overview at the fair |
 |
| MAGMA (that would be my stand, and yes that's beer under the table) |
 |
| My nice neighbors at the fair, Sanden Guitars of Sweden, with a fanned fret and true temperament models. Yum! |
 |
| Legendary Danish builder and repairman Denis Dalsgaard responsible for all the wacky basses for Stig Pedersen of D-A-D |
 |
| Buffing up an old slanted fret acoustic built for a handicapped guy |
 |
| Skilled builder and shredder Donovan of Librium Guitars looking mean with a beret (he's not really) |
 |
| Peder Pedersen and son Kim of PP-Guitars (that's the father on the right). They know how to utilize a CNC router. |
 |
| PP-Guitars |
 |
| Schloff Guitars |
 |
| Michael Schillhof (I believe) of German Schloff Guitars showing off some smooth transitions. |
 |
| Master builder Ole Kehlet... |
 |
| ...and a closeup of his top of the line model. Around 120000 Danish Kroner (about 16000 Euro) if I remember correctly. Drool... |
 |
| My personal favorite at the fair: Le Fay Basses of Germany. Cool design, workmanship and great attention to detail. Meik Dobbratz and his brother even do all the hardware themselves. |
 |
| Le Fay Basses: Closeup of fanned fret ... |
 |
| ... and steel fingerboard-fretless models. |
 |
| The horror... |
 |
| A funky GUS guitar ... |
 |
| ...which shares a jack plug feature with mine |
 |
| A Mayones with an interesting finish. Deep grooves dyed red and nicely bound. |
 |
| Lastly, spot the guitar hero! |
All for now, take care.

Correction: Thats not Denis Dalsgaard holding the slanted fret guitar and I don't think what Donovan is wearing is called a sixpence. Beret?
ReplyDeleteIf it's not Denis Dalsgaard, do you know who it might be so I can correct the caption.
DeleteAs for Donovan and his "sixpence", I thought you meant that he liked using a pre-decimal UK 6d coin as a plectrum, Brian May fashion!
The guy with the big smile is Denis, but I don't the name of who's holding the guitar other than he works in Marno Sørensen music shop. Nice guy, though.
DeleteI never understood how Brian can play with a metal coin. I have a granite plectrum and it's absolutely horrible to handle/listen to/pay for. Way too hard.
Thumbs up for Europe.Electric guitars are not only american.On the Magma stand; beers! that's not unusual (air conditioning,North of europe) but also an unfinished body probably to show the customers how it's made.It's a long time I didn't go to such a place. Great pictures and many,many good ideas.I love "Rickenbackeresque" Schloff basses. Thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteI looked at a very similar Mayones guitar in my report from the London International Music Show 2009.
