New Desert Rose

Larry Hamilton · Post by **Larry Hamilton** » 26 Apr 2006 9:07 am

Been playing my new Desert Rose D-10 about a month now. It's quite a guitar. It is the first of Chuck Back's new series so it was a work in progress when I got it. Chuck got it finished in time for the Dallas show in March then took it home to do some tweeking for me which included puttin on an extra pedal. He put a 0 pedal on it and moved the ABC pedals to the left to make it fits perfectly. I play the "Day" setup and it allows me to roll my old ankle better. The extra pedal, 4th from the left, was made to lower the 5th string a whole tone, Everything else was left the same. It's a charcoal color laquer with wood necks.
I made a mistake on my pickup choice though. I chose GL E-66's. Chuck makes it sound like a million bucks but just not for me. I will be going to either the Star pu's or True Tones.
Not being real computer savy, if someone would help me post some pics I will Email them to you. I can do that much.

Congratulations on your new Desert Rose, it is certainly beautiful! You must feel really good.

Thanks guys for you compliments on my guitar. The more I play it the better I like it. Chuck made the guitar so it fits me, so it has a different feel than my Emmons. I play the Day setup, so Chuck moved the pedals to the left a notch. Feels much better.

Yeah Joe, I hope there's a lot of laquer on it, cause it gets cleaned and polished often.
