Cp Thornton Guitars Blog

Hi Everybody;

The new batch is up in our Gallery.

We’ve got some new developments, including some 1 piece Mahogany Backs, Resomax Bridges, and Lightweight Aluminum Tonepros Tailpeces.

People may not be aware, but we’re making the control cover for each guitar out of the piece of wood that we use for the back.  It helps give us a wonderful, clean, look.

I’m both sorry and delighted to say that there aren’t any unsold guitars this time.

Chuck is already working to get the next batch out, so stay tuned!

Our thanks to all our wonderful customers, and may this new year be a truly special one.

Thanks to Paul S. and Dan for the pic. Chuck and I love it!

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.

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).

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.

Chuck

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!).

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.

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:

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!

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.

Rich
