2005 first generation Detemple S-style hand crafted with a substantial V-profile neck and Ash body. The early DTs are coveted as being collector pieces since they represent the epitome of a one man operation (at the time) & the start of a iconic boutique brand. This strat has a comfortable mid-7lb weight and beautiful flame maple neck. 7.25″ Radius and 1-11/16″ width.
This DT was originally an orangish burst (maybe 5 years ago) that became weather checked in transit. I contacted Mr D and paid for him to refinish this and it’s twin Tele (also for sale) in rare Zsa Zsa black. Mike’s black includes a hand mixed combination of lamp black and secret sauces (LOL)…but it’s NOT from some store purchased can. It is a significant upcharge because of the trouble getting it right. My personal favorite of all his colors because it is simple and beautiful while not being Krylon perfect.
Tonally this is one of those ‘sweet spot’ DTs that has full bottom end, a nice mid presence and clear highs. They all sound different. I stock and have sold a lot so let me help you determine if this (or any of mine) are right for YOU.
