This is Chuck's newest creation. It's goldtone spalted maple with horses running across the front. I believe it's beautiful..
Thank you for looking, Fred

Thanks for posting this Fred! I've been wondering what the horses were going to look like - absolutely beautiful.

And it sounds as good at it looks. I made a Video of him tuning it, and as soon as I get a chance, I'll put it on You Tube. It is beautiful and he says; "I'm not selling this one!" Yeah, right!!!
Thanks for your comments Skip and Doc.

Hey Rick, I am glad you posted the pictures. I am trying to talk Chuck into not puting a pad on the guitar, because the area for the pad is eye candy. I want him to put plexiglass on that area so we can see the beautiful wood beneath. I will bet you Chuck will not let this one go. I was there when he strung it up and the sustain is like a push pull, strings vibrates forever.

Don't be confused Chris, goldtone is the color, not the brand. It's a Desert Rose Vintage Pro.
And Skip; Selling it is anybody's guess. Every time he makes one for himself then plays it at a gig, someone see's it and buy's it on the spot. He made this one so unusual that he hopes no one will want it. The last one he made for himself was that beautiful red one, that he wasn't going to sell... Yeah right. Right now he's in Tucson, he had a show last night and tomorrow night. If,,, he sells it he'd better bring my case back with him, I loaned him my case because we didn't have one ready to go..
Fred

Another great lookin' Desert Rose
Chuck told me he was going to keep this one
My guess is maybe all year (this year - 0
He told me that about a red one on the way to Dallas one year and it did not even make it back to AZ that same week
soooooooooooo will Chuck keep it ---- not likely he will make him a better one (soon)
