2011 ToneQuest Report Article
ToneQuest Report revisits Cp Thornton Guitars in the April 2011 issue to review our Legend model. A photo of The Legend also appears on the cover of the issue.
The extensive six-page article covers the guitar in great detail, with loads of photos and background info, and concludes in part that “if we needed to cover the broadest range of styles and tones, we’d pick The Legend.”
Vintage Guitar Article
The Cp Thornton Fusion guitar is featured in a Vintage Guitar Magazine article. You can download and read a pdf version of the article. Author Zac Childs writes “Thornton has succeeded in melding the Fender tone with the eas of playing associated with guitars having neck and headstock angle. If you’re looking for Fullerton tones with true Kalamazoo playbility, this is your beast.”
2007 ToneQuest Report Feature Article
The August 2007 issue of the ToneQuest Report featured an in-depth review of our guitars, accompanied by a biography of Chuck. TQR is an amazing magazine that includes no advertising in the issues, instead relying on subscriptions and their website.
David Wilson, the editor of TQR, has given us permission to post a PDF of the issue featuring our guitars on our website. In addition to the wonderful article on us, the entire issue is fascinating. We encourage our readers to go to the TQR website and consider buying a subscription. It’s well worth it.
