The New Batch is Ready!

Friday, September 17th, 2010

Hi, Everybody!

I’ve posted the newest batch of guitars in our gallery.

This batch is only 8 guitars, as we’ve decided to make smaller batches. This will let Chuck deliver guitars more quickly and, we hope, make our customers even happier.

We made two of these guitars on spec, and they’re also up on the for sale page.

They should also be up shortly on the destroy all guitars website.

Thornton Guitars Customer Photo Gallery

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

Hi Everybody!

I just found out that some people don’t know that we have a Customer Photos section in our gallery. We’d love to have photos of your guitars, and especially of you playing them!!

I’d put one of myself up, but I can’t really play (truly).

Thank you for making us Thornton fan club t-shirts!

Friday, August 27th, 2010

Hi Guys, I wanted to take a moment and thank Paul S. for having the Fan Club T-Shirts made, I’ve sent them out to the people who have 4 or more of my guitars. I love building guitars for you guys, thank you for owning them and thank you Paul for taking time out of your busy schedule to have the shirts made.

The Website is Updated

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

Hi Everybody,

We’ve finished our website revisions.  Chuck and I hope that the changes we’ve made will make the site more user-friendly while allowing us to add future models without much difficulty (we’re working on something cool right now).

Thanks, as always to Tony of NetThink21, who has always come through for us.

I also took the opportunity to simplify our gallery structure, which has always been overly complicated.

Lastly, there are almost 30 early guitars that are not in the gallery because we didn’t have the resources to bring them over from our first site.  A lot of the files have to be re-processed, so it is a bit of a project, but I’m going to try to sneak some them back into the site as time permits (at the very least, I’ll post my blue flame Elite!).

Updates In Progress

Monday, July 19th, 2010

Some important updates are underway for the Cp Thornton site. We apologize for the brief scheduled maintenance downtime this morning.

We are in the process of adding new guitars and content to the site over the next 48 hours, so stay tuned for some exciting changes.

GearForGuitar Interviews Chuck

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

While we were at the Montreal Guitar Show, Chuck had the pleasure of being interviewed by Derek Dodson of Gear for Guitar. Gear for Guitar is a podcast about all things guitar.  Derek, and his co-hosts Matt Richter and Dale Adams can be found on iTunes, or their new website, gearforguitar.com (as of August 1).

I can’t wait to see it when it goes live. It’s a fantastic interview, you can hear it below:

Another Lance Keltner Video!

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

I just found out that Lance has posted a promotional video for a Metropolous JTM45 amp that he shot using our Professional model guitar.

It is definitely worth a listen!

I’ve embedded it on our video’s page. It’s the second video down in the Professional section.

I will be breaking this video page up into sub-pages by model soon, so please bear with me!

Website Update Coming

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Hi Everybody,

I know that the website is woefully out of date. We have 3 new models, not to mention the “Cp Thornton Slick Neck” guitar polish, to showcase.

I have been waiting until all the updates were ready so as to do a single update as efficiently and inexpensively as possible. I’ve sent the info off to our website genius (he really is that good).

I hope you will be patient with me until we can get that done.

The Legend is Here

Friday, July 9th, 2010

I know we’ve kept everybody waiting, but I’m proud to announce that we have posted the new Legend model guitars in the Gallery. You can see them in both the Latest Batch album and the Legend album.

Also, check out the Legend page on Destroy All Guitars, where Cliff is now taking orders!

We have a wonderful video by Lance Keltner up on our Videos page (right on top!). We have two awesome Denny Breau videos with this guitar that I will be putting up as soon as possible (tonight if I can).
