The Dargie was a forum based guitar that was open to order with about a 2 week window. Not many of them floating around. You have to hope someone is selling one to get one. They are not made anymore.

The short answer is they were a limited run of green instruments with martini inlays that were spawned by the forum and BP and based on a bass owned by Scott Ball (Dargin on the forum). The opportunity to grab one will be resale only so check the forum for sale thread and ebay occasionally. I believe Glenn (GWDavis28) had a Dargie Luke for sale recently that might still be available - try a PM

Thanks for all the information! I will keep a lookout on the sticky thread! What year were they produced? Thanks

 

[brasco68]

There were 277 made, so they are a rare find at this point.

Oh yeah...I got one!

The order window was during the summer of '06, but I believe most were delivered in early spring '07.

277 of each model or in all? Including Silo's, Al's, Luke & JP's???? Did they make any Axis Dargie's? Are the Lukes neck similar to that of a Silo? I never played a Luke... I really love the Silos necks!

I appreciate everyones input!

 

[mb99zz]

Man, great question. I too am a new member and was curious about the Dargie's history. Very cool theme and color.

 

[paranoid70]

I think in all. They made them in basses as well. I played a fretless Stingray (with a blank plank) Dargie at the Guitar Center last year. It had the one martini inlay at the first "fret" only. It looked really classy.

Damn, looks like I am SOL on the getting a Dargie Silo! HA With only 12 being made that is! Maybe we could talk BP into making another limited run but in purple! We could call it the Barnie Delight!

Who got this one - Silhouette Sp. HSS Standard - 1 ???

Thanks for the comforting remarks Glenn! I am not real trusting the Evilbay lately, some weird things going on right now! I will keep on looking though! I saw you Dargie Luke for sale on the Sticky thread! Is it still for sale and what is the $$ ballpark if you don't mind me asking? Thanks

I just want his Dargie guitar strap!

Nice to see the Luke model the winner of the guitars produced number.

and the most resold it seems too. why would you sell a DD! I guess the Luke neck isnt for everyone. Also if you own an AL then you already know bliss, isnt that right Glenn?

I love my one off Dargie Silo Special piezo!

 

[GWDavis28]

Rob, I'd love to keep the DD Luke, but there are bills to be paid and there is something on the short term horizon for me and I'm really pumped about that one.

I really loved the Luke and I hope there is another in my long term future, be we'll have to wait and see.

Yes I really do love the AL, the MM90's are just so nice and that has without a doubt the nicest neck of all of my MM's.

Brasco, I know you do man, I remember man and if I decide to piece mail it, i'll let you know man.
