The word okay is not in his vocabulary, if it\u2019s not as close to perfect as he can get it, then he starts again. The detail he pays attention to is second to none, he winds pickups to the exact requirement, he experiments with sounds and woods, he has a lot of knowledge about wood and resonance, a phone call with Mick can last an hour yet it feels like 5 minutes have gone by.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are like me and sick of spending good money on so called \u201cknown brands\u201d that rely on their name and not quality, and you want something truly special, I suggest you give Mick a call. I have been playing guitar for 50 years and have met a lot of guitar builders but Mick De Luca is the man for me.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-70c68aa elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"70c68aa\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1d9ffaf8\" data-id=\"1d9ffaf8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e0ffdbf elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"2e0ffdbf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"http:\/\/delmguitars.com.au\/index.php\/artists\/#joey\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Back to artists<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44a13f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"44a13f0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JOEY AMENTA Guitarist &#8220;Mick is a very unique person.
