The Richard Fortus Collection is finally here! This massive haul features over 200 pieces, and it’s only at the Chicago Music Exchange!In his quest to buy a ‘Burst, Fortus is offering up electric and acoustic guitars from his personal cache, as well as amplifiers, combos, cabinets, and stage- and studio-played gear culled from over 30 years touring the world with Guns N’ Roses, Thin Lizzy, The Psychedelic Furs, Rihanna, *NSYNC, The Dead Daisies, and more!

The CME Collection
Now, showcasing the largest selection of premium instruments we’ve ever acquired all at once, The CME Collection brings together some of the best player-grade guitars our business has seen before—plus, a few we’ve never been able to get our hands on, ourselves! So, after CME CEO Andrew Yonke opened each of the 120-plus instrument cases, himself, he doubled down on the collection—and just about doubled the number of premium custom shop guitars in our store!
