Pete, you are an incredible artist and craftsman! Your guitars are beautiful my friend! Freshest thing in guitar instruments to come along in quite some time. I bet they sound as good as they look! As many know, it's all in the pickups, amp and the magic found in the hand of the person playing the strings that create the voice and I have no doubt that your instruments are very beautiful in voice. Nice work. (don't let the smug bastards on here run your work down, you my friend, are a force to reckoned with)
i want one,just because of the unique perspective,we need some more innovation,challenges to the norm and wild and crazy out there concepts.this guy is quite brilliant to be honest.
+Dawn Gibson ..Well a man does not have those curves..lol and a lot of men fall in love with their guitars like me ! I have one a les paul gold top her name is blondie....its better than ralf...lol
I think your design’s look more like an acoustic guitar . These designs don’t look rock and roll to me . More like Marijuana Sandals . You definitely have talent but I think to be a guitar maker you have to be a guitarist . Stick to Cabinet Making ! Sorry dude ! Just my honest opinion .
Honestly, i agree that the wood work is amazing, but i think the main idea of building a guitar is somehow lost. It's more of an excentricity to have a guitar that looks like an inflated tyre. Usually i observe that luthiers are pretty much worried about the action, the tone, tuning (and yes, also the beauty of the guitar), but not so much with the shape and construction complexity. it could be anything: a jar, a chair, a lamp,... A guitar brand based on a visual or artistic concept, even for me as an industrial designer, doesn't seem very innovative. Ok, the intention isn't to create a mainstream brand with a production line, i got it; but still, in the end it could be some other object. Considering the cost, time spent and complexity, i still prefer a standard USA Fender, Gibson, Gretsch (etc.) or a japanese Ibanez or ESP.
Pete Swanson Aham... yeah, right, WOW, even Obama could not think of a better sentence! So, the thing is reduced to: if you can dominate a technology, find where it can be useful. it could be guitars, it could be anything else... Same as saying: as long as i can win something out of it, it's cool. $$$$ Viva Las Vegas! $$$$ No way Pete, you didn't improve the guitar concept, it's playability or anything that we can really call "progression". I will compare it to the dresses we see here in Paris, at YSL. A woman's dress can be sold between 15.000 to 20.000 Euros. But it's just a dress. What you're buying are some kisses on your butt cheeks.
Pete Swanson Na na na... i got better than that (sorry, i don't remember the author): opinions are like vaginas, each one has it's own, and he gives it to whoever and whenever he wants. Take care!
Such a cool unique way of building a guitar! I love em!👍😎🎸🎶
I’ve watched this video about four times now. These guitars still look super cool. No yo mention. Giving me some great ideas
Freaking amazing. Talent at its best to say the least. I hope you have a lifetime of badass guitars to show the world
Wow just stunning guitars!
Wow! You are putting a lot of us to shame! That is beautiful. I'd love to play one, feel it in my hands, listen to the tone.
Stunning work Matt, mad respect

what a cool idea ...excellent stuff
When I was building a couple bar stools, I was inspired to enter the App development industry.
But unlike you Mark knows what the fuck he is doing..
Outstanding work!

Insane, bonkers, absolutely beautiful, respect all the way !! :-)

I'd like to "relic" one of those!
But how does it sound and play?
~cool...greetings from 2 musicians (sitar & tanpura) from germany......(maria&harald,road to himalaya)...~
Is it good to play and as the other already asked how does it sound?
We have a winner!
pretty cool!!
also think it is cool to name a guitar after a woman:)))
+Dawn Gibson ..Well a man does not have those curves..lol and a lot of men fall in love with their guitars like me ! I have one a les paul gold top her name is blondie....its better than ralf...lol
ah, that's where Dave got the inspiration for that one song.. hehe
Impressive. Now if you could custom-out my harley...
Do they make basses ?
This is what a Dagmar sounds like:

Do's it play ?
No 5 string basses?
Not yet. Nobody has ordered one. You can email Pete directly at dagmarcustomguitars@gmail.com.
+Matt Swanson This is incredible woodworking on it's own, combined with guitar building skill. Cheers, you deserve to be proud of your art.

Think beyond the guitar like I did with my original bike fenders.

Attract many and appeal to only those like minded is the very best you can do. I wish you well on your future endeavors.

It is no wonder at all that you have forgotten the author. Fare thee well.
