Crestwood replicas by Roger Daguet

[MERCYY]

I lurk alot on here and have seen no mention of work from Roger Daguet. I have 2 custom made Crestwood/Wilshire style replicas constructed by the french luthier that yall may enjoy. The 3 pickup cherry Crestwood with Bigsby was stolen from my house in reno and I spent 6 months on the hunt, cracking the case and recovering in a pawn shop. The white Wilshire-style with stoptail was ordered after the cherry one was lost. These are incredible sounding, first-class one of a kind guitars that are considerably more sturdy and resonant than the originals. Does anyone else her have a Daguet guitar? experiences? Check out Roger here... http://www.daguetguitars.com/

Godd to hear you got your axe back! I really cant concieve of how it would feel to have something i care about that much disappear from me.. I've always lusted after one of his guitars but the lack of a pricelist on his site and no updates since 05 i just never bothered looking into it...

They are beautiful. I discovered his work a few years back after seeing an old video clip of Marc Ford playing an original white Crestwood. PM Blues had an original that was mint and looked like Marc's but was 12K so I wanted a replica-never did order one though.

Would love to own a guitar like a Crestwood. You are very blessed to have your's returned.

Hello "Mercyy",
how are you? it looks like you have take some risk by ordering guitars from a so total unknown guy... I have make something like 250/280 guitars from the beginning in 1975, and very few people ever considered that these guitars are "rare", buying is so easy.
making guitar is not my job, it is a thing I do amongst other, it's just for fun, a passion, an art... my opinion is that every human in this world has to practice an art, (and compassion, humility and lot of other things but it's an other subject) in order to be "human" if you just eat, f... and die, you're nothing more than an animal, and that is what we are...if we don't take opportunity of being human... music is a part of this, friendship too.
No price list on my page doesn't mean I'm outrageously expensive, just that if you want to know you have to ask, communication is an other usefull device of the humanity, use it!
cheers.
R.D.

That Bigsby is cool--my Crestwood Custom has a bigsby, too, but I kind of doubt it's original. Roger, do you know if any of the old Epis came with Bigsby's. It's possible they were a custom option, since of course Gibson's could be ordered with Bigsbys. But I can't say I've ever seen any other vintage Epis (besides mine) with Bigsbys.

Also, why don't your copies have the oval inlay? Aesthetic choice?

the bigsby was first an option, then became traditionnal as gibson discontinued the supply of the trem"o"tone I don't know the date exactly. that the reason of the "custom made" plate which is suppose to hide the trem"o"tone fixing holes . I use the oval inlay (but really mop oval inlays) only on the "custom" model I did one you can see here :

Wow, never though I'd hear that name mentioned here! The Proto-bridman is the first guitar I found on the web that I lusted after, many years ago:

Hey, my band opened for Deniz Tek about ten years ago. He was playing a Robin into a Groove tube amp & a Marshall combo then I recall. We asked him about his legendary white, 3 pup's Epi, he said it was home in need of repair...
Roger j'ai toujours admiré vos guitares! j'espère pouvoir en jouer une un jour...

I'd sure like to know where to get those repro Epiphone/EB bass rounded plastic mini humbucker rings, can't find them anywhere except for vintage ones.
