We've seen you play this Hot Rod on numerous occasions. We can tell how much this guitar gives you enjoyment. The sound and build quality is amazing. It's a beauty! Thanks for sharing it with all of us.

[@RayPlaysGuitar]

Thank YOU Chuck!

Beautiful guitar Ray! The CP Thornton Classic II I bought from you was amazing! Best Fretwork I've ever seen or played!

[@RayPlaysGuitar]

Hey Eric! I agree, the fretwork is impeccable!. Thanks for watching!

[@vincentbuccieri9305]

Thank You Sir for All the Good Info. And for the Introduction to a New Luthier!

[@RayPlaysGuitar]

So glad you enjoyed this video! Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated!

Great love letter to Chuck's guitars! I love mine.

[@RayPlaysGuitar]

Thanks for watching Michael! Which model(s) do you have?

[@GregoryP.-kh2yq]

Awesome video, great playing. I love Chuck’s work! I have a Classic II and now I’m jonesing for an HTL2!

[@RayPlaysGuitar]

I'm jonesing for his new TS1/TS2's!

[@GregoryP.-kh2yq]

YAAASS! Has anyone put up a demo of how they sound yet? @@RayPlaysGuitar

[@blazeofglory1982]

Great tones! Those pickups are incredible.

[@RayPlaysGuitar]

Thanks, I agree! I've never heard of Harmonic Design pickups before I discovered CP Thornton guitars. I'm surprised they aren't more popular. But then again, there are a number of great pickup manufactures these days, many of whom I've never heard of. Thanks for watching! BTW - I liked that Tech 21 Chorus pedal you recently reviewed, that boost is sweet!

Great video, great review.

[@RayPlaysGuitar]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks a ton for watching!

Nice guitar, looks like he liked the G & L headstock. 👍

[@crimsontyger8576]

I am fed up with seeing some amazing guitars only to find none are available in the UK.

[@RayPlaysGuitar]

I can imagine how frustrating that is. Thanks for watching!

[@kellyzeewolf4613]

and at $3,500.. guess I never will(hear of it that is..)

[@timothyoo7]

Yeah, there's an awful lot of $3,500 guitars I've never heard of!

[@RaisingTiger777]

Sounded angellic until I learned the price😭

[@RayPlaysGuitar]

LOL, I hear ya. I was just looking at Fender Masterbuilt Strats on Wild Wood Guitars' site, the cheapest one they have is $7,900. Suhr's standard team-built strat is $3,300. For around the same price you get so much more guitar with a masterbuilt CP Thornton. It's not cheap, but absolutely worth it IMHO. Thanks for your comment and for watching!

[@PernilleFromHansen]

DAMN - another guitar I can't afford ....

[@scottklandl488]

It’s called a Strat. It’s like the most popular guitar ever. Yawn

[@RayPlaysGuitar]

I had an '86/87 Strat, I liked that one a lot, I still own a '79 Strat and an Aerodyne Strat. I've played lots of Custom Shop and Masterbuilt Strats, hard not to its the most popular guitar ever like you said. My Thornton HTL might look like a Strat but it behaves, resonates, sustains and inspires me in very different ways than my Strats. Thanks for watching and commenting Scott!
