I will be the first to admit I was skeptical of a USA made guitar for less than $1K that others were saying stand up to LP's in a much higher price range. Well it's no joke. CMG Guitars quality far exceed their price point. If you haven't played one you are missing out!!
Word from CMG: The CMG Ashlee is our true take on a classic. Chris' wife, Ashlee, is from Milwaukee (known as the "Cream City"). This beauty has the looks and the tone you’re looking for - without the hefty price tag of other boutique builders. We want our guitars to be affordable for all. Super comfortable to play with the "Belly Cut". Don't miss this one!! Comes with a gig bag and full manufacturer's warranty.
Masked Binding
Our standard Ashlee model has “masked” binding - meaning the top of the guitar is masked off from the side, allowing the natural beauty of the wood to show!
“E” Bend Cut
Our lower horn is cut deeper than most single cut guitars on the market. We’ve cut the horn back below the 22nd fret. This allows you to bend a whole step on the high E String to that last “E”.
