I recently got one of Mr. Asher's Ultra-T's from CR Guitars, formerly owned by Craig himself, and I am simply blown away by the build quality, playability and above all tone the guitar has. It's simply a treasure - thanks for making these guitars, Bill!

What? Seriously? Wow, this I did not know.

I had a crush on her from Bewitched reruns before I was even old enough to know what a crush was.

That guitar looks nice. Congratulation on your Asher guitar.

To my taste, All Asher guitars are great. I love mine, too.

I have 3 Ashers and they all are keepers. An Ultratone T Deluxe (I think it is the actual one Lance played in the video), an S Classic and an S Custom.. They have it all - build quality, playability, sound. Awesome guitars.

This is one of my favorite Ultra T's-perfectly reliced with that 50's blackguard Tele vibe.

Koa progress
I am a certified Hawaiian Island Junky. When discussing my Ultratone T build, I asked Bill how he felt about doing the f hole as a Hawaiian fish hook. He embraced the idea, and I think the Asher team knocked it out of the park.

Aloha, that is sick! I too am lusting after some koa due to my affinity for the islands, but the fish hook takes it to another level. Please post pics when she's complete.
