The Devries Saga Continues

[damnation669]

A follow up to the ever popular thread here some time ago. Behold:

You might remember our friend, Eric DeVries, luthier to the stars? Well he's finally got his own site up and running. And....well....you just have to see it for yourself. There's actually a picture of him somewhere in there!

What the bloody hell is a "16 degree African ebony fretboard?" Does the fretboard make a 16 degree angle with the top of the body for the ultimate live sound?

What tuning is this setup for? Look at those saddles.

A wild "Rhythm and Jump: Dancing Close to You" tremolo appears!!!!!

I like the microtonal possibilities of those last 5 frets and the deeply textured fingerboard in that area.

If I had to guess I'd say years of pills and alcohol with a little psychosis mixed in.

Chipmunk routing ftw?

There's no way I believe that this is him. I always pictured a retarded fat guy sitting in a basement.

As a side note, does anybody have that penthouse issue? Or have read it? I'm pretty sure that came up in an earlier thread.

Wow, one of his "signature" guitars has a Charvel neck on it. Sourcing parts from Ebay much?


EDIT: HAHAHAHAHAHA! Click "Guitar Dungeon" and it actually says "Send us more victims", the irony is incredible, you couldn't make this shit up!

 

[BrainArt]

What a tool.

 

[Customisbetter]

I can't believe i just gave that Site a free hit.

The doctor calls it "Paranoid Schizophrenia," whatever that means.

Oh, you were talking about Devries.

 

[Griffin]

This made my day.

 

[signalgrey]

We design and build great sounding guitars designed for metal/hard rock music. If you want a guitar with 'bite' then check out our "Vampire" series guitars. If you just want "versatile" then go else where... Our quality custom handmade guitars are all specialist models whether made for rhythm or lead...Our guitars do '1' sound but that sound is THE best....Our guitars are number one in the world for what they do and we will take on any challenge from any company who wants to try and prove us wrong...

That has honestly got to be one of the worst guitars I have ever seen, only made worse by the fact that the crazy graphics (read: words roughly and poorly carved into the wood) are misspelt with "to hell descent" when grammatically it should read 'to hell descemd'.

Shocking. Absolutely shocking.

Also: such pride in the amazing lack of versatility of his instruments! I understand he's trying to sell to the metal market, but that is still an absolutely stupid thing to say if you hope to produce quality instruments that will be valued for their tone, rather than decrepit bits of plywood that sound br00tal when played at 11 through a Krank. Idiot.

Here's the guitarist of that band he touts all over that piece of crap he calls a website.

Looks like ESP to me! HAHA!
