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!).

That is SO cool. I noticed when I refresh the gallery page, a different guitar of each model pops up. I don’t remember it ever doing that before. I think it would be good for marketing to put a statement to that effect on the gallery page.
Thanks for going to the time [& expense] of updating the site. Much better.

Hi Jay!
Believe it or not, it’s always done that. It’s my little “easter egg” in the software.
Actually, there’s a lot of stuff I’d like to write on the first page of the gallery, but the gallery software won’t let me. Also, the gallery link is coded, and not generated by the website software. I can’t even see that page to edit it.
Chuck and I appreciate your thanks. We put a lot of time into figuring out what we want, and our website guy is both skilled and efficient or we couldn’t afford to mess with it.

I really like the new look and function of the website. Well Done!

Ditto
The site looks good, you maintained the elegant look to it which represents Chucks guitars so well.
Very professional, good work modifying the layout.
Will you offer the Slick Polish for sale online with the hats and shirts?
That polish is really great, got some with my Blues Queen and it is slick, love the micro fiber cloth to.
Great job on the site guys.

My thanks!
The Slick Neck is for sale, at $10 per bottle plus shipping. It is on its own page, not the accessories page. Clearly I need to put it on the accessories page as well!
I’m working on a Paypal button for purchase – like the t-shirts.

Hey Chuck,
Congratulations on having the HTL photo oped in Premier Guitar Magazine, September issue page 144. It is listed as picture #1 on that page and out of 8 pictures two are bigger and yours is #1 of those two.
The article is about the Montreal Guitar Show.
So glad to see your name up there, I think the PG magazine is online also, but I haven’t looked yet.
Cool man, so good to see your guitar in that spread.

Hey All,
I received a Cp Thornton Fan Club Tee Shirt and I wanted to thank Paul S for making this happen.
If anyone else was involved I also want to extend thanks to them also.
I would be more then willing to contribute some $$ to defray the costs if so desired.
I think the shirts came out really nice. It must have been difficult to get the photo of all those guitars onto the shirts. Very nice job and I do appreciate being able to receive one.
Of course I also like owning all my wonderful Cp Thornton Creations. Nothing like wonderful function art work :-)
Thanks to all for making the Fan Club Shirts a reality.
