Very cool story. I’ve been following your channel for a couple weeks. Beyond your excellent guitar playing (slide and otherwise), you are a gifted communicator. Your explanations are concise and right on target. Every time!
That guitar looks and sounds incredible. I'm also a big fan of stainless steel frets and carbon fiber rods. I have a couple of Kiesels set up that way and they're about as low maintenance as you're going to find in a guitar.
Congratulations Dylan on the guitar. Ever since Rhett Schull introduced you to the world I have been following your progress. In a video several months back the guys at Driftwood mentioned they were making a guitar for you and I was immediately interested. I searched and couldn’t find anything beyond the initial reference. If they were to offer a run of these guitars I would seriously consider procuring one.
Fantastic work by the Driftwood team. Great playing as usual. Thanks for explaining all the details. I love the emotional expression in slide work. Great all around!
That is the exact guitar I have been wanting! There was a Gibson version like that issued not so long ago with a single humbucker that I have been hunting for. Really nice, sounds great. Love a single pickup wrap tail. 🔥🔥
Really digging that guitar. Not gonna lie though I was hoping it was a series/parallel switch. The 50s/modern isn’t what I would’ve expected but it does seem to offer some nice tones. Something else I’d like is a volume and tone bypass switch so you could set it with them rolled back for clean tones and bypass them straight to the output jack when you want to let it rip.
Dylan, great advice on the potentiometer selection, both the value and taper are so important (IMHO). As of recently I've been using VIP potentiometers, too much to list here, check them out. On my Gibson style guitars I swear by the PIO Capacitors, .015uF for the Neck pickups, and .022uF for the Bridge. Love your music, thank you for the breakdown of your guitar and how you use it.
I thought the D on the headstock was for Dylan . . . I am not very up on Driftwood, which says more about me (someone who cannot actually play, so does not "shop" custom) than them.
Yeah I’ve thought of trying one of the various noiseless P90s in my Jr, but the consensus seems to be that most of them sound more humbucker-ish than P90ish, so I think I’d rather just leave it as is and enjoy it at venues with good power, haha
On Driftwood’s channel, their title said it was 10k. Not my place to say whether it’s worth that much, but it’s a hefty price tag, just a heads up lol 🤷♂️

Nothing quite like an incredible guitar in the hands of a great player. Sounds as good as it looks, which is a feat in itself.

You are most welcome I hope it brings you much joy in your journey.
Thank you for the shout out.
I love the driftwood guitar crew, those guys are awesome!
SCORE!! Love the specs on that amp! The Jr. is a perfect balance of modern boutique & vintage traditional
It is especially after some tweaks😊
How generous of them wow. I’m sure you deserve it man. Hard work and dedication pays off sometimes. Phenomenal slide player bro

They crushed this project. Looks and sounds like a ripper!
That is gorgeous Dylan. Congrats on getting that beauty. Great playing, and fascinating story. Thanks for sharing this.
What a cool collab. Going to binge both sides of the story.
That guitar is stunning. Congrats on huge win.
This was fun. Killer guitar and playing. Thanks for posting.

Very cool guitar Dylan! Congrats!
Well deserved, brother. Watched that build video too. Such a sick instrument. Congrats on all the success and thanks for sharing!
I’m sorry to hear about your friend. I looked him up and sounds like he was a pillar in the music community.
I watched the build of that - most beautiful burst colors I have ever seen!

Never knew how much I needed a Junior with body binding, oh no! Reminds me of those Les Paul Seniors but without the top carve.
Premiumness indeed! Love it.
Killer guitar Dylan congradulations!
Sounds really great! Beautiful guitar!
That looks and sounds AMAZING !
I had a Bill M Mod Blues Jr w/ Presence control and single chanel ... i kick myself daily for selling it.

It’s a Ry Cooder switch🔥🎸
THERE IT IS
Congrats.
I want one of those!
Congrats

Beautiful guitar! I'm curious, though: did they do anything special to allow the humbucker to clean up at lower volumes as well as a P-90 will?
That’s essentially what the switch does, adds a ‘50s wiring mode so it cleans up better. A humbucker will never clean up quite as well as a P90 though
Amazing
I have to ask, do you use your thumb for ghost notes and then your index or just the thumb?
Nice!! Did you use a double cut pickguard on it single ply?
Would Pau farro be a good option for the fretboard ???
Did you think of a P100 ?

I want it 🤤 haha
I love P90s but hate the hum. Lindy Fralin noiseless sound and look very authentic
Does anyone know what tuning his guitar in?
looks like new LTD
Can we buy this wonderfulguitar?

Guess Driftwood is hoping you will be their Best Salesman. Just as John Nathan Cordy is K LINES best Salesperson.
Of course, I wouldn't turn them down either. Just sayin..
