We’ve had a wonderful review in Vintage Guitar magazine. They loved our Fusion guitar. We’ll post the review when the issue is off the newsstands.
We also had a wonderful comment on the Gear Page! One of the few people who’ve already played our prototype Classic guitar (our take on the Tele) raved about it.
To all of our friends, and to the people in the press, we thank you.

So very enticing. When will they start becoming available… (soon, I hope!)

Any chance of seeing some pix of the “Classic” proto or some clips?
Please…

No pics or clips yet. We have a small batch in finish and they’ll be out in a few weeks. They’ll go up for sale then.
I’m beginning to feel a little guilty about it, but we decided that we didn’t want people to see anything but the finished product, just like we did with the Fusion.
I can describe it, though. The first batch is Swamp Ash. The guitar is more or less tele shaped, but has a boss, like the Fusion, to raise up the bridge to take the neck angle into account. We’re still working out some of the wiring options, but we intend to have plug-in pick-guards so that changes are easily made.

Also, if you want to call Chuck, he’ll reserve you one.

I totally enjoyed the review in Vintage Guitar magazine - I like the reviewer’s take on the tone and feel of a Fusion. I am writing him to give comments on his review. I also responded to the writeups on The Gear Page. Man, if that doesn’t get the ole juices flowing, nothing will.
I believe this new T-model is destined to be THE model that will create the most buzz. From all Chuck has said about it and the initial reaction to it on The Gear Page, this model should provide even more separation between Chuck and the other master builders of the world. I’ve loved the Tele-style guitar since seeing one on black & white tv in Ricky Nelson’s band when I was a child. I’ve owned a few, then discovered I liked the G&L ASAT even better [I currently own several of them]. I love my ASATs, but I can already see where this is headed.
Since this new model has a great neck like my Fusion, a Tele shape, and will have a Chuck-created voice, the anticipation is almost too much. He says mine will be ready around mid-April…… thank goodness I have taxes to keep me distracted [LOL]! No one is looking forward to those first photos more than I am!!!
