SUPER jealous! Chubtone is on my list! This year has sucked financially, but maybe early next year. I'd love to have him do a Joe Holmes inspired super strat!

Very nice man, can't wait to see it. I thought it was a cool idea when you posted the thread about the idea of it, I have a feeling it's gonna turn out badass!

I figured mine out and if its 18 weeks I should be getting it the week of Dec 7th. So yours is into 2021
LOL! Dude I told you not to order from Hong's Music Emporium in Beijing but you wouldn't listen to me.
But Hongs has such sweet deals.
True. Can't deny that. I bought a neckless guitar once from them that played like butter.

That would be a good one! Hang in there and keep the dream alive man. That was me a few years ago. I was just talking about a Chubtone and just kicked the can down the road until I could start thinking more realistically about it.

Thanks brother! Yeah, I had this idea and then slowly kind of molded into this other thing. Last year I wanted to get my high school colors and mascot, etc. and it didn't seem like a solid idea. Just kept kicking the German flag idea around and then grew and grew.

That will be my next one.....
Seriously though, that was my first idea years ago. Since that is part of my heritage, I was going to do that and then I started thinking about my German roots (although not as prominent) and I actually lived in Germany when I was a teenager. So somewhere that is like my second home.
See this is why once we buy a Chubtone, it is like opening up a big box of ideas. LOL!

Its an amazing deal to get a completely custom guitar for just a little over the cost of a signature series mexican Charvel. Options for paint are limitless. Not crazy wait times. To the big guys, a high end guitar is a line item on a corporate ledger. I can guarantee that Curt and Matt remember every guitar. The fact you can see progress on Instagram is the gravy.

Great call on the subdued brass look. That’s gonna look wicked with the flag’s colors.

Oh yeah! It is great that it is part of something bigger but is not a huge assembly line. I think that is what pushed me to just go all in. I could have got another Charvel or even a Friedman, but I wanted something that you can't buy in a store. Plus the bonus is that he is a buddy here on the forum. Like I have said before, I was talking with him back in 2007 or so when the new USA Charvels came out. Talked with him and ended up getting a Slime Green one sent to my house in Hawaii. I never would have imagined that he would be making guitars at this level. I still remember when he mentioned he was going to get into building! Seems like just yesterday.

Thanks man, I agree! Yeah, might be a bit of gold here, a bit of brass there. I told Curt to go with his gut. He'll be able to look at it and know if something isn't going to gel.

If I remember correctly, I think I just went with the standard birdseye. I saw a pic from one of the guitars with that and figured it was good, especially with being roasted. Oh man, yours is going to look cool with that color.
