Take a look at the choicest cherries topping off The CME Collection sundae!

When we said, “The CME Collection is HUGE,” we meant it! It took us awhile to go through them all, but without any further ado, we present to you our Pristine Custom Shop Editions!

From the Mary Kay Stratocaster to a Gibson Les Paul Standard ‘60 with Gold Sparkle binding and an aged blacktop, to an Explorer with a “Clapton cut” on the bass bout—there are so many instruments in this collection that get us excited about guitars again that we couldn’t wait any longer to show you what else we have in-store!

Get Excited About Guitars, Once Again!

On top of the hundreds of used and vintage instruments that our expert buying team acquires month over month, The CME Collection has added a truckload of custom shop guitars to our in-store offering, augmenting our already extensive assortment of new, vintage, and used instruments available, and giving us the unique opportunity to offer our customers the largest collection of premium instruments we’ve ever had within our walls all at once, including some models we had never had before! The response to The CME Collection has been immediate and humbling: many instruments from the collection have already found a new home (some within minutes of listing)!

SHOP CME COLLECTION PRISTINE CUSTOM SHOP

We’ve spent a good part of this past month sorting them into groups, by category—from artist series instruments and signature models to guitars aged and painted by Tom Murphy himself, Collector’s Choice editions, PRS Private Stock instruments (including two Super Eagles!), and custom acoustic guitars from our favorite manufacturers.

Over the course of this November, we’ve thrown everything at you but the kitchen sink; and, as we predicted, it’s taken us weeks to do everything we do here at CME to share these awesome instruments with our audience of gear lovers like you. 

Now, that you’ve seen everything we have to offer, we’re giving you one final friendly reminder to say these instruments are going fast, and they won’t be here long. So, if you see something you like, call, click, or chat us online to find out more; or, visit our Lincoln Avenue showroom to try out any of these dream guitars in person, before they’re gone!
