DC: Our models and future models will for sure have some unique
design elements and killer details. As the models come to life, one will
see more of “DC Designs”. For the most part, we have been building
what the customers have requested per their personal specifications.
2016 we will transition to DC DESIGNS and more online sales.
Custom orders will still be available at request though.
KP: Other than DC AXES, what other manufacturers of guitars inspire
you?
DC: I have several manufacturers that have inspired me, such as
SUHR, GIBSON, FENDER, HUFSCHMID--and our local luthier,
MCINTURFF GUITARS. Wow…there are so many! Each has its own
personal features that make them unique.
KP: If you could pick ONE musician that would endorse and play DC
AXES onstage, who would that be?
DC: Nationally, I am such a MARK TREMONTI fan. That would be
awesome! However, getting some of the local unsigned guitarist my models and really getting to hear them on stage, would
be just as satisfying. It’s going to happen soon!
KP: If you had to pick an “all-time favorite” design of yours, what would that be and why?
DC: I currently have a personal LP inspired design with loaded tweaks that is on hold. Once I have filled the current orders. I
will finish and release. It will be a killer instrument! I would like to mention these models will be loaded exclusively with BARE
KNUCKLE PICKUPS. We do use SEYMOUR DUNCAN, SUHR, and DYLAN pickups on other models. They all rock!
KP: Is there a particular individual that has inspired you in this venture…whether living or has passed?
DC: Years ago, I worked with a master craftsman who shared so much of his
knowledge as if I was his “chosen one”. I never could figure out why this
gentleman was embedding all this knowledge in my head. Wow! Only if I
knew then what I know now! I am really thankful he took time to teach me
his skills. Thank you BOB MAYE--I am forever humbled you took time to help
me.
