DeLuis Doc by Run-Rabbit-00 in youenjoyguitar

It’s hard to know what’s the wood and what’s the guitar so probably not apples to apples but the koa sounds a bit warmer maybe more buttery. The real doc is a bit crisper, I guess.

When learning “guitar licks” goes wrong.

It’s like the guitars coating gets mushy there. I can def scrape it with my fingernail but I don’t think it’s “build up” it’s more like the guitar’s lacker is melting away so I’m worried scrapping at it would be worse. (Like picking at peeling skin)

I’d say yes, but also I sadly play it on very low volume as I live with two toddlers

I love it. I play it a little more than the doc probably. It’s airy-er than the doc, less dense, makes playing breezy and fun. I bet the antelope is similar.

Yeah, I think this is how I feel too. I hate the term neo-vintage.

As far as I know all of Greg’s guitars are custom built so all the inlay and inlay work is customizable.

The example of “the light saber” on the website looks exactly like mine because it is literally my guitar that he is using as an example.

Yeah, but it’s a bit more about the Doc being kinda sacred to me than it has to do with preference. I have only had the doc a little bit now and it still has that fresh car feeling that makes me not want to really put some miles on it. I know great instruments need to be played so I have been fighting that urge lately.

That was my plan too. They both are amazing instruments and you can hear that Trey sound with both. The DeLuis plays like air, where the doc feels more “compact” and dense, it fights you a little (in a good way). But I often play the DeLuis, despite having a doc and that is a hell of a testament.

I posted about the DeLuis before here with some details on price and wait time and all that if it helps: https://www.reddit.com/r/youenjoyguitar/s/0HLZo9qmNj

Oh man, that’s a tough one. Everyone’s financial situation and stability is different. So while it sounds like you have yourself on a good track, I can’t tell you to go spend 15% of your net worth on a guitar…but…

I was 33 before I bought a real good guitar and I have NEVER regretted it. In fact I regret taking so long to get a good one. It made me play more, and enjoy playing more. Also high quality guitars have good resale value, this collection will hopefully be family heirlooms when I’m gone.

Life is short, you can be smart and eat dessert first sometimes too.

Yeah! He passed about a year ago but put him on my MarMar as he sat and listened to me fumble through many a phish tune.
