Very cool Koogs. I've got a Dargie JP on order. Cool to see how things started out. I love all the behind the scenes stuff.

Any idea who the other three guys(other than big poppa) in the videos were. Just wondering the names of some of the guys that were responsible for bringing the JP to light.

Thanks for the videos,
Scott

Vid #2 is obviously Big Poppa drawing on JP's hand.

Vid #3 is Dudley, Big Poppa and JP

Vid #5....I believe I know the names, but not 100% certain, so I will let Big Poppa answer that one and not look like an idiot...lol
 
In #5 It looks like Greg Timmons, who used to be an artist rep, and Mike Guthrie(who I used to call, Neil Youngs Grampa) Mike was the woodshop supervisor back then. Greg has his back to the camera.
 
Yeah it does ernie....:cool:

Thanks for the answer Big Poppa....I would have been wrong in my guess....whew...dodged that bullet. :p
 
On the last 2 videos it looks like the guitar is bare (no gloss paint). Is that what basswood looks like? Is there any noticeable or interesting wood grain patterns with basswood? It is hard to tell from the video.

Thanks for sharing the videos - very cool! :cool:
 
Do any videos exist on the creation of the Luke? That would be interesting and cool.
