NGD and New Site / Guitar Gallery!

[dibart77]

Hey everyone!

A lot of you have been PM'ing and asking what the deal is on my new Web site and Guitar Gallery. It's been a long time coming, but the site is finally (almost) done. Just some final testing and tweaks! I'd like to give my fellow Knuckleheads a sneak peek before I move it to "www.dibart.com". Click the screenshot of the site below or go to DiBart.com v4.0 to check it out!

I also thought it would be cool to ring in the new site with a NGD announcement! I recently picked up a KILLER Axis in Black Magic Crystal from fellow Knucklehead kimonostereo (a/k/a Scott). Check out the guitar below or come to the site to see the whole gallery! Scott is aces and the guitar is just PERFECT!

Now... I'd like to humbly ask a favor of my fellow Knuckleheads (mods / BP -- if this is out of line let me know and I'll take it down): If you can all check out the site for a few minutes and let me know if you see anything that isn't working, seems broken on your browser, whatever, I'd really appreciate it! If you see any any issues, please PM me or submit via the Contact form on the All About Jeff page (please be sure to tell me what platform, browser, and browser version you're using).

I **REALLY** appreciate your help everyone! Thanks!

(again, mods or BP, if any issue/concern with me asking this favor of the community, just let me know via PM and I'll edit the post)

And now, on to the Black Magic Crystal goodness and the link to the site. Thanks again everyone!

-Jeff

Looks amazing...

Your collection is simply outstanding. And your webpage looks killer.

Should add some JPs and Morses to that arsenal xD

Thanks Rutgart! No Game Changer yet... Remember I bought all 11 Axis Tributes in the fall so I need to be on my best behavior for now!

Thanks guitarp77! I had a SM-Y2D for a while but for some reason I just couldn't get comfortable with it so off she went to eB@y. I also jammed on a JP6 at NAMM or the Philly guitar show and it was cool but then I played on a JPX7 Roasted Maple / Black Sugar at the Philly guitar show and that thing blew me away. I have really been getting the itch to get a JPX or JPXI or JP12 7 string for a while now. In time... I needs to save some money first!

It doesn't like my iPad - grrr flash LOL

Lookes great! pleasure to watch your website

 

[threeminutesboy]

very nice and working fine with my Mac Book Pro with Safari though scrolling with pad is way too sensitive

 

[Slav123]

Very cool, nice job!

Awesome site Jeff ! Great photography ! And it goes without saying , a killer collection !!

 

[ozzyrules]

Killer site & gallery. That black axis looks dead sexy with chrome; stunning.

 

[dibart77]

Thanks everyone! Yes, iPad is a no-go as I built the gallery in Flash. Rest of the site should work on iPad though.

The look and photography are great but I find navigation to be a bit uncomfortable. Like someone said, the scroller can be a bit sensitive and with that many guitars is a bit cumbersome. And then I don't care much for the way the thumbnails show up on the right and I have to scroll again to view them. Maybe I'm lazy but it seems like a lot of work and concentration for me to run through things quickly. I'd prefer if a new window with larger images popped up instead of doing the thing on the right. But the collection is superb!

 

[dibart77]

Thanks for the feedback @tonelover.

I don't know why but this is one of the funniest things that I've read in a while.

The site looks great! I especially like the gallery of Axises. EBMM could probably make a color brochure with those pics. Nice job!

 

[dibart77]

Somebody picked up that Black Magic Crystal on eBay for $1165. That's a good deal. Better than the deal @Kimonostereo gave me! No worries, Scott. Shipping from Hawaii ain't cheap!

@acwild: When I read it back it sounds funny and insane too. But all too true. If I get divorced my wife would definitely make me sell off my collection and give her half the money. So, for now, I need to roll easy!

Anybody else got any feedback / issues with the site? I am working on the hyper-sensitive scroller in the guitar gallery. And @ozzyrules found a typo where I said "When the EBMM EVH was first announced in 1991, I was a HUGE Edward Van Halen." And @IslandBoy had an alignment issue in Windows. Anything else? PM me! Thanks!

It works perfectly on this side of the Atlantic Ocean.
But there is a big big big problem in your guitar collection : there is no Morse in it !
