DEARNALEY GUITARS NATURAL & SUNBURST

Guitar.COM EDITOR'S CHOICE

Occasionally, we’re obliged to begin our reviews with a full disclosure. Regular readers will be familiar with the name of Cardiff-based luthier Dave Dearnaley – he has provided us with help and advice on countless occasions, his Taff Delta T-style electric is the only review guitar this writer has ever bought and he has been a friend for many years.

In addition to being a long-time member of goth-rockers Alien Sex Fiend, Dave is a highly regarded electric-guitar builder with an uncanny ability to capture the tone and vibe of vintage designs. Even so, his most famous guitar is the black V-style model that Phil Campbell played when Motörhead appeared on UK TV comedy . It was subsequently purchased by video.
