I met Don Henley's guitar tech yesterday, he's worked for Lukather and many others.

They do some business with Performance Guitar.

Tell me your experiences with them [if any].

Looks like the DeMartini "Snake" Strat has real Python, hard to tell in pics.

Im not into ALSO killing animals to play music. I kill enough for food and some clothing...but GEEZ do I really need to ALSO kill a fucking snake for a guitar now?
I don't like it.

I'm a HUGE DiMartini fan... but I never liked the idea of that.

IDK if you have been to Florida lately but they're over-run with Pythons ...

Who gives a Fuck anyway.

*** For the record "Reptiles" are not "animals" they're "Reptiles" and most "Reptiles" will kill you.

Is there anything you won't argue about? Good grief.

I'm sure he'll argue with you about this.

I think it's funny to be ok to kill them to wear but not to put on a guitar. I think a guitar will last longer than a pair of shoes.

I sensed a bunch of Clinton wusses or supporters in this forum.

Global warming....blah blah blah......

Python is an endangered species...blah...blahh..blahhh.


Play your guitar and just enjoy life and also remember to STFU

********
Reptiles are tetrapod vertebrates, creatures that either have four limbs or, like snakes, are descended from four-limbed ancestors. Unlike amphibians, reptiles do not have an aquatic larval stage. Most reptiles are oviparous, although several species of squamates are viviparous, as were some extinct aquatic clades[7] — the fetus develops within the mother, contained in a placenta rather than an eggshell. As amniotes, reptile eggs are surrounded by membranes for protection and transport, which adapt them to reproduction on dry land. Many of the viviparous species feed their fetuses through various forms of placenta analogous to those of mammals, with some providing initial care for their hatchlings. Extant reptiles range in size from a tiny gecko, Sphaerodactylus ariasae, which can grow up to 17 mm (0.7 in) to the saltwater crocodile, Crocodylus porosus, which may reach 6 m (19.7 ft) in length and weigh over 1,000 kg (2,200 lb).

WHY FAKE IT WEN U CAN SNAKE IT ...

 

[BigBellyRocker]

I wonder how this real python skin guitar will smell like as it gets older and the python skin start to dry up? Anyone know? Does this type of guitar smell like fish at all? Didn't the owner of Luxxtone Guitars sent one of his guitar over to Performance Guitars to have the Python skin put on?

 

[Chester Nimitz]

You use a conditioner on it, there is no smell if the skin is properly tanned.



I have an Eastern & Western Diamondback 3.5 inch done by AF Designs out of Michagan, they're most excellent.

Performance is top notch stuff!

as far as the reptiles go:

I live in a rural farm area. Many of you would never survive here with the mentality you have. I have been around animals my whole life and have a huge love and respect for them. That being said, I understand that the cattle I see when I look out my window will someday become meals for many families and help bring income to my family. Always remember animals are living creatures, but they aren't people. Many would eat you as well if given the opportunity.

I highly doubt any pythons have been specifically killed for guitars. If you'd like, next time I kill a copperhead in my backyard, I'll send them on to be used on guitars so we can save the pythons.

I built the guitar Chester posted above. Good to see it again.
