I've got a burst Blues Queen inbound in 2 weeks!
As I said in the other post,
It's hard holding your breath!

Hey fugot, what model is this, & do you have some pix of the front?

[fugot]

professional acoustic (first one chuck made, thankyou), and amazing sounding. the acoustic tones are dead on acoustic sounding, the blend of acoustic and electric is smooth warm, round and defined, if any of that makes sense???
there is little to dislike about any of chuck's work. the guitars in person are even better then pics, and the tones are even better then the looks...






c,mon kids...pony up the pics

[fugot]

anyone else???

[Cobra]

Here's mine, Blues Queen #137... Fully caramelized!

[jetattblue]

I've got a Fusion inbound, so I wanted to bump this to hear from any Fusion players. How do you like them? Mine is the S-S-H configuration.

[fugot]

wow cobra... that is one sweet neck through ax you have there.....

c'mon boys and girls ....whip them out

[Cobra]

Thanks fugot! I'm diggin' it... I agonized over goldtop or burst, but I'm glad I got the burst. I've never really been a fan of ultra foo foo figure, so when I learned that this guitar was originally going to be a blacktop, I asked Chuck about the figure in the maple, & he said it's there, but subdued. While it's not as exceptional as some, I actually like that. Gives it some character...

I just got in 2 Fusions from this latest batch #145 & #146. Wow. The necks and playability are awesome.

I'll insert pics when I figure how.

How's it feel with the flat 16" radius and the 25" scale? Does the slightly shorter scale make it lose any of the "spank" of a Strat? Looks like a very innovative take on a bolt-on--the first serious rethinking of things in, oh, 50 years. (Although I would have gone for a flat headstock and tuners of graduated height rather than an angled headstock, for strength; you never see Fenders with broken headstocks!)

Also, how does Thornton finish his gits? Nitrocellulose, or poly? Thanks
