Title: (x) History request please J-14535
Post by: ELPFAN on November 20, 2018, 02:06:59 PM

Hi Mica, I'm new here and was wondering if you had any info on the Darling I just acquired!
So far I've seen your Instagram picture from 2016 but would love to find out as much about her as possible.
Thanks!
Jeff

Jeff welcome to the club!
It may take awhile before Mica gets to your request.  In the meantime if you post a few pics there are people here that can tell you a thing or two...

Thanks Pauldo. I have the unopened case candy but was hoping for more background if possible.
It shows zero fretware and not a mark on it which is odd for a guitar around 3 years old.
Any help from the Club is greatly appreciated.

The only detail from the file that isn't on the wood card is that the original dealer was Brian's Guitars in CT. Otherwise, you know what I know. But I can add that you've got one of my favorite Darlings ever - that Spalted Maple is amazing. I remember when I bought the group of billets that this one came from, and I couldn't wait for us to make a guitar from it.

Thanks Mica. I have to agree - the wood is absolutely stunning!
Glad to be here as well.
Talk soon,
Jeff
