Check it out, its www.davenportcustomguitars.com

If you don't care about it, just click on the link anyways; that at least helps get the site in search engines and stuff.

I didn't build this site, but I did take all the pics in the Photo Gallery, so check them out and tell me what you think about our guitars. We just got back yesterday from the Dallas Texas International Guitar Festival, actually, and did great.

You guys should post videos displaying how they sound, because for the most part, all guitars that don't come from a reputable company (ie. Fender, Gibson, Ibanez, Epiphone, Squire, ESP [which I personally hate, but they're good for some things], B.C. Rich, Jackson, Yamaha, Charvel, Kramer, Gretch, Taylor, Ovation, etc.) sound horrible...

I don't know if anyone still reads these forums anymore, I know I haven't in like 5 months, but I thought I would just correct you real quick.

If your a kid with some money to spend, you buy from those companies. If your professional, or at least know anything about tone and instrumental quality you would be retarded to purchase from a company such as Fender, Gibson, etc. The pros you see that are endorsed by Fender for example aren't playing real Fender guitars. They have people such as this guy (the guy who builds the guitars I was showing) create what you would call "Fake Fenders", hand crafted strats and teles, and put a fender logo on the headstock. They are basically the same thing, they just sound better, feel better and are built by hand with no imperfections.

The difference with all the companies you listed and fine quality hand built guitars - Those are all made on machines without close inspection and you just get whats shat out of the machine. Hand build guitars are made out of the best personally selected woods, and every inch is made 100% perfect and inspected for flaws, intonation problems, created to every spec for tone and feel that a pro needs to get on stage and play his best. A machine just can't match that.

Not to mention lots of pros and guitar players like 'aged' guitars (guitars made to look like they were built back in the 50s and 60s), which is what this guy specializes in. Sounds silly, but they feel so much better and have a cool vibe. But yes, if they aren't professionally hand built OR built by a reputable company, then they usually do sound like trash because they are just built on shittier machines than the reputable companies use and they don't have any standards of quality usually.
