I just got this yesterday. I ordered it from Daniel in April. It's absolutely gorgeous. It plays as good as it looks. I was really amazed by how good the wood looks in person. The black limba body and the Wenge neck are stunning. The curves and cuts on the body are a nice touch. I took a chance with a new builder and man did it pay off. Very pleased.

The fret work is awesome. It came to Ohio all the way from Australia and was ready to go out of the box. I tuned it up and it was pretty near perfect. The action is low. The playability is great. The recessed input jack is a very cool touch that I wish more guiyars included. I've owned some really nice guitars lately and this is every bit as nice. I couldn't really find any flaws with the guitar.
The build process with Daniel was stellar. I really can't say how great he was throughout. He kept me updated about every aspect of the build. He sent me frequent messages through Facebook letting me know parts were ordered/arrived, what step in the process he was on, etc. He sent me photos and even some video logs of his work. The longest I ever went without communication from Daniel was 10 days. I never once messaged him for an update because he sent me information so regularly that I never had a need to contact him. To top it off, he quoted me 16 weeks for build time and came in almost a month ahead of schedule. It was truly a top notch experience. I can't imagine it being any better with anyone. I would recommend Daniel to anyone wanting to order a custom from a smaller builder. With the exchange rate for us Americans, Daniel is doing amazing work at a great price.
