Official Daemoness Guitars Thread

Isn't that the same guy who said he will never play it because he solely bought it as an investment and inherit it to his children?

To think, he could have bought $4k in Nvidia stock...

Do you think one days he's gonna wonder why his kids put him in a home and never visit him?

Anyone catch VictoriousWeapons (Kyle from Vitriol) on IG talking about getting his new Daemoness and that Mr. Scumbag himself is trying to start up shop again after running away with people money.

I mean, what do you want? He's definitely not going to get people's money back to them without starting up shop again.

This has literally just turned into the BRJ Black Friday thread… it’s pretty hysterical. We just need people to start trying to identify whose guitar parts end up on new customer builds.

No. What was the gist of it - anything different than what we’ve been hearing? ie that he was looking for a place and was going to continue the business.

Kyle just says that the guitar is now in Lee Garver's hands for finishing (I guess that's all that was left for his guitar to have done) and presumed setup, "while Dylan relocates Daeomoness HQ".

That is a fucking badass Warrior.

 

[JimF]

So nice isn't it! Its quite keenly priced too.

 

[Yul Brynner]

Yeah you're going to regret letting those custom shop Jacksons go.

 

[mehegama]

well, it says "while Dylan is relocating the Daemoness HQ".
This exactly what Dylan is saying since 2020, nothing new here, technically he has not shut the shop down and run with people's money, he s been trying to find a place to resume.

What I really read from this post is that someone had enough went there took his unfinished guitar and gave it to someone else to finish it.

BRJ all along.

Even though I agree in principle, I doubt Dylan will give money back to anyone. Best thing he ll offer, imo, would be to resume the waiting with vague delivery times.

To be fair this is just a custom select, not a real custom.

Maybe, but that's also his loss because building guitars and doing art stuff is probably the best possible job for him. That is sort of why I don't rule out the builds resuming -- it's the best outcome for both parties. But sure, I don't put much faith in that happening anytime soon.

Doubt it ever happens, nail him to the wall of shame along with BRJ, Decibel, S7G etc.

I mean, I guess but I think the whole point of the shaming is to increase visibility and to prevent people from continuing to give people money. Vik is a perfect example. If Vik was dead, I don't see why we would bother to harp on him, apart from a cautionary tale of little known luthiers in general. Instead, you still have people giving this guy money and saying, "well, it won't happen to me, my friend got his guitar". Then it fucking does and they come to the forums to post in outrage about how could this behavior be tolerated!

So yea, no one can get a new build with Dylan, so what's the point.

There's a Vik Reverb account with a 5 star rating. Hopefully people who actually got burned by him are loud enough to scare away potential buyers.

I hope Dylan gets back to it someday. He's super talented.

Reverb's about the only way I could ever recommend to purchase a Vik.

Yeah, like BRJ is dead. I think we can stop flogging that horse.

But Reverb offers buyers plenty of protection, no? If he's conducting transactions on reverb by the book that's a good thing for people who want to buy his stuff.
