The Devries Mythos?

[TheMasterplan]

I see some casual references to someone or something known as "Devries" or "DeVries" but after extensive searching I still have no idea where this originates. Can someone give me an overview so I can understand what people are after when they make the reference?

Thanks

P.S. Sorry if this is in the wrong section/has been discussed before. I did search, but I didn't find anything and it's rather interesting to me.

Devries is one of those people that calls himself a "luthier" and makes really low quality instruments that are extremely crappy all around from what I've heard.

But is it a specific reference to an actual person or is it like calling someone that has no ID on them a "John Doe"?

He's a real person. I believe that's his last name.

Go to google and type in devries and go to his myspace, the photos there are known to cause a chronic syndrome commonly known as "instant death"...

^ Yup, that's him alright. He has a current auction for a custom built ash guitar body, and in the auction page, he links to a Youtube video of that Rose Tattoo band, the one that Devries simply made a guitar that looked like the same one buddy played so he could advertise that he made the real thing.

Bear in mind that the Rose Tattoo guy is also dead and therefore unable to dispute anything.
