Members GreatDane Posted April 2, 2013 Members Share Posted April 2, 2013 First Act USA Custom Shop Delia "Here's a knockout Delia Semi-hollow from the First Act Custom Shop in Massachusetts, USA. Click Here for a good link about the company, and luthiers, and who they've built guitars for - this might surprise you. I got it on ebay, and was told it was new, but a 2nd due to finish cracks/checking (see last few pics - most on back of headstock, one on side of neck, and a few running across the face). Must have happened during finishing or storage or ?Other than that, it's a superb instrument and sounds amazing. Has a 1-11/16th nut with a fat '59 type neck carve - feels like a good 'ol Paul or Jr. Has real USA Bigsby B12 with Chet arm, Duncan Phat Cat pickups, Grover tuners, Schaller roller bridge, maple top over chambered mahogany. I think frets are stainless - can't remember for sure." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JRicoC Posted April 2, 2013 Members Share Posted April 2, 2013 Not. And I actually own two(!) Delias. I don't like the sunburst, gold hardware, or [again, ad nauseum] the Bigsby ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tone Deaf Posted April 2, 2013 Members Share Posted April 2, 2013 Not. I've never cared for that particular style of double cutaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alecto Posted April 2, 2013 Members Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hot. I'd rock it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jpnyc Posted April 2, 2013 Members Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hot, even with the gold hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jkater Posted April 2, 2013 Members Share Posted April 2, 2013 This is funny. On Paper, if you described and named the specs, I'd be drooling uncontrollably, Then looking at it, it is as if everything that's right about it has been done just a tad wrong. Yet it is beautifully made. I say..... ....HOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stormin1155 Posted April 2, 2013 Members Share Posted April 2, 2013 Not. Kind of reminds me of some of the stuff coming out of Japan during the '60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the shape doesn't appeal to me either. I like everything else. Not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 6down1togo Posted April 3, 2013 Members Share Posted April 3, 2013 I never liked the "low shoulders" on that model and the stinger on the back of the neadstock mskes it look like it's hiding a hesdstock repair. The First Act logo is hideous too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
