I’ve posted the latest batch in the gallery.

Chuck has done some amazing guitars this batch, including his first Tazmanian Blackwood body. As always, Chuck has striven to make each batch even better than the one before, and I think it really shows!

Since we were revising our menus, as well as transitioning to a new server setup, Chuck and I took the opportunity to go back through the whole site, replacing outdated photos and making sure that our specs, options and detail are all correct.

Everybody, thanks for your patience while we got this done!

I’m pleased to announce that Walter Becker of Steely Dan has now purchased three guitars, Legend #297 Improv #303 and HTL #339.
There’s an old saying that goes ” A Rock Guitarist Will Play 3 Chords In Front Of 3000 People While a Jazz Guitarist Will Play 3000 Chords In Front Of 3 People,”
Walter Becker is talented enough and smart enough to have figured out how to do both.
I am truly honored for such a great musician to play my guitars.

Chuck

I know the website is slow and buggy right now. We are on a legacy server with our host, who didn’t bother to inform us that they are phasing out the service we have been using for the past few years. We are in the process of moving to a new service.

Unfortunately, I can’t pull the trigger on the change until I get a glitch with our domain host straightened out, which will take a few more days.

Thanks for being patient with us!

I’m migrating the website to a new hosting service, so there will be some sporadic website outages over the next few days. Thanks in advance for your patience.

When this is done, the site should be a lot faster.

Many thanks to Lance, and to Cliff of DAG!
