CUSTOMIZING MY NEW

[@AlexanderGhezzo]

Wonderful guitar! It was great, that you let us try the Abasi guitars at Vai Academy!

[@DanteFrisiello]

Absolutely!! My pleasure, anytime ❤️

[@TheHuebinator]

Seeing you in winnipeg man! SOOO stoked for the concert - my dad just splurged on 3rd row seats this afternoon. Hoping its gonna be as good as the past few I have seen glimpses of. Tosin Abasi's guitars are so cool. Look forward to seeing you and Steve and I wanted to share my excitement. Also, your story is straight up inspirational - I heard it first from tyler (music is win) on his video and its so cool. 💪

[@DanteFrisiello]

Awesome! Looking forward to that show :D that's awesome! I hope you enjoy those killer seats. (you will)!! Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm glad to hear that

[@griffingaines1103]

[@paramedicpete7502]

Not are you only one of my “new” favourite players.. but your editing on your videos is also excellent. And hilarious! Keep on posting Dante!

[@DanteFrisiello]

Thank you so much! Hat's off to my incredible editor, Sohail - @thenautilusshell on instagram

[@georgemorgan4233]

So thankful the tour came through Wilkes-Barre and my daughter attended her first concert ever! She LOVED it!!! Everyone's playing was phenomenal!!! Your duel with Steve impressed the hell outta me. Good Luck going forward and hope to see you guys again soon

[@DanteFrisiello]

Thank you so much!! Really appreciate that. I'm glad to hear you guys enjoyed the show. That duet is always a great challenge, I love doing it!

[@allengarrow6295]

Customizing guitars was one of favorite things to do when I was doing that for a living in Nashville! Are you guys going to do more now? It easy to catch that bug!

[@DanteFrisiello]

Nice! Have to dream up something to do next...

[@johndale9578]

I just saw you and Steve in Little Rock, AR! Man, what an amazing story and progress you have had! Makes me want to pick up my guitar again. I am definetly a new fan, Dante

[@DanteFrisiello]

Thank you so much John, appreciate the kind note and the support! Your guitar is always ready and waiting for you... when you're ready, it will be there. That's why it's the best!! Stay inspired bro!

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

I totally get the lightning bolt glowing. I have a 91 Charvel super strat I love that has the crackle finish and it's old and all that, but when I look at that guitar it's so beautiful. It's the best crackle finish I've ever seen. It's not really busy like most crackles and it just rocks. I bought this guitar at the pawn shop I worked at and I bought it for 225 dollars and I see them for sale for 700 to 1400 on Reverb, bur I would never sell it. I know the original owner and the music store he purchased it from new.. It has a schaller floyd rose that stays in tune if you threw the guitar against a wall. You can't knock it out of tune after setting it up.. I love that guitar.. I also have a Les Paul Junior from a Canadian Luthier that I bought and glued the neck in and put all the hardware and electronics in and I love it too.. Because of Steve and people like him and Paul Gilbert and Kiss' guitarists I bought a Dimarzio PAF Pro for that guitar as it has only one humbucker.. I also now am putting together a strat with two EMG humbuckers and standard 6 hole trem that I just deck. It has stainless frets.. I love guitars. I'm a guitar pig.. 😛 That guitar is soo cool and they did a great job.. Epoxy does make it look 3 d for sure! God speed sir and I hope you and the band and crew are well.. Please be safe!

[@DanteFrisiello]

That's awesome! Great guitar stories :D thanks for all the support. Scout did an incredible job!

[@ChasingPhotography]

Thanks for rolling through Memphis last night, you guys left the stage on fire, totally ripped it up!

[@DanteFrisiello]

My pleasure!! That was a really fun gig. Thanks for the support!!

[@Guitar-Geek]

I don't have words to describe how beautiful Abasi guitars are for me. But with that absolutely gorgeous design it's just looks like a dream. Dante in Chains and his guitar which works upon not electricity but a lighting bolt, ladies and gentlemen!

[@DanteFrisiello]

Haha thank you so much! Glad you dig it!! 🌩

[@RICCARDOREARDON]

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL VIDEO.. VERY INVOLVED AND INFORMATIVE VIDEO.. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE DANTE'S PLAYING...A GREAT 👍 VIDEO..

[@DanteFrisiello]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed and appreciate the kind words

[@illmaticcitamlli2468]

It's a beautiful guitar and now that you've done this design, it makes it even cooler. Looks killer 💯

[@DanteFrisiello]

Thank you so much!

[@gaia_guitar]

this guitar is wonderful 🤩🤩🤩.... I wanted to congratulate Scout for the beautiful job he did ... thank you so much Dante because you inspired me a lot, you are fantastic .... greetings from Sicily😘❤

[@DanteFrisiello]

I am so happy to hear that my Sicilian friend!

[@EmmyGuitar]

Looks amazing!! 🤩

[@alexousky]

This guitar is incredible! Love how you're inspirational for everyone man !! Gives me so much motivation practicing guitar ❤

[@DanteFrisiello]

Aw thanks dude!! I'm always happy to share my hype with you!

[@Pat54guitares_Uku]

Hope you're in top of health for the tour which is going back. 💯That's the Bowie guitar design ! 😉 I love the glittering rendering ! I understood that pieces of wood are cut to make the design, and that it is filled with coloured resin. The detail : Nicholas Stout looks very much like Jimmy McCulloch (from the Wings). 😁

[@DanteFrisiello]

I'm feeling so great, thank you. Yeah man, it is!! Haha

[@brennanguitmusic9814]

Quite the process. It came out nice!

[@DanteFrisiello]

Thank you! Scout killed it!!

[@radoslavvalchev1011]

love the guitar

[@DanteFrisiello]

Thank you! So do I :) I am lucky to have it!!

[@MrTlucchesi]

I’m going to take a guess that you and and Tosin, who I saw with DT last week, are making a guitar together. That would be fantastic!!

[@DanteFrisiello]

That would be an absolute dream, I would certainly love to do that one day. That kind of achievement has to be earned with absolutely exceptional playing and musicianship. I am not there yet, but I am working as hard as I can to reach to level.

[@veraquesta2175]

love your positivity and your hair❤‍🔥looks like a lions mane in this video😍keep it like that😁

[@DanteFrisiello]

Haha thank you! I'll never cut it, for better or worse I'm stuck with it now...

[@jimmytheguitarist1462]

Saw you in Brno Cze. With Steve. Amazing show🎸🎸

[@DanteFrisiello]

Thank you so much!

[@jimmytheguitarist1462]

I also loved your guitar and I was impressed that you can play that fast with singlecut. I'm a Les Paul/SG player and been playing for 6 years, still struggling with solos that are in fast tempos. How did you build that speed, and how long have you been playing?

[@DanteFrisiello]

@@jimmytheguitarist1462 thank you! Believe it or not, the single cut design of the Larada actually helps you play fast above the 12th fret, because it puts your thumb into a more technically efficient and correct position. Your thumb is supported by the extra wood. I have been playing for 17 years, I started when I was 13. If you want to build speed, you have to invest yourself in dexterity exercises and practice that involves playing fast. You have to play fast if you want to get fast, doing things slow is great but once you get the movement under your fingers, you need to try and go faster and faster. If you want educational resources, check out, Guthrie Govan’s book, creative guitar, one and two, I still spend time in the first one which is for beginners. You can never overlook the basics. I also recommend John Petrucci’s DVD rock discipline for a ton of speed exercises

[@jimmytheguitarist1462]

Thank you so much for recommendations and your time. I would love to see you again in person someday. Jamming with you would be such a great thing too. So if you're gonna be in Europe again I'm the first who's going to look for tickets😁🎸🎸

[@DanteFrisiello]

My pleasure! Anytime. Hopefully one day I’ll be back there!! ❤️

[@wolfganghumboldt4830]

Hope you guys make it to Japan sometime.

[@DanteFrisiello]

Stay tuned, it's certainly possible :)

[@christesta-oneill4840]

I remember "Dante in Chains". First time in Manchester UK I think?

[@DanteFrisiello]

I remember that!! Haha first time he actually said it was at a rehearsal before that first tour :)

[@MrTlucchesi]

Nice work, I’ve seen some rare Ibanez filled with epoxy. I thought they were just trying to save some expensive African mahogany.

[@DanteFrisiello]

Interesting haha!

[@MrTlucchesi]

FYI see you in Florida, let’s shred!!

[@DanteFrisiello]

Alright! Florida men unite!

@@DanteFrisiello may the force fill your pedal board with reliability and continued awesome tone.

[@Tjricchio]

Hopefully Steve will approve!

[@DanteFrisiello]

He does!!

[@kphglitterz]

Can I get a custom dante wrapped guitar?

[@DanteFrisiello]

You gotta pay extra for that sort of thing!
