Canton Custom Guitars Klein Style Demo by Al Shaffer
Here's a demo of my 2009 Canton Custom Guitars Klein Style guitar that Rick has built for me. The first two tracks are the neck pickup direct into a Carr Rambler with a Kingpin 60 speaker and the third track is the bridge pickup direct into a Tech21 Trademark 10 in a Blues Junior cab with a vintage JBL K-120 speaker with a scooped mid tone setup. Everything was recorded with a Panasonic Lumix digital camera in movie mode with the camera mic. The specs are as follows: Chambered contoured mahogany body. Flamed maple top. Jon Bondy fixed bridge. Q-tuner pickups. Curley mahogany neck with an oil finish. East Indian rosewood fret board. Jumbo stainless steel frets Steinberger headpiece. Poly finish on the body and top. Sunken Straploks.

What kind of Q-tuners do you have? And how do they compare to say a Dimarzio X2N?

It looks like a modern rendition of the Ovation Breadwinner. I bet your Canton feels like a dream!

Hey beegal55,did you ever get your baritone?

No, it’s a Jon Bondy fixed bridge that fits the S/T-Trem route. You can Google Jon’s name to find him on the web, they are for sale at his site. I have them on two guitars and love them.

Is that bridge a fixed one from a Steinberger Synapse model?

Just contact Rick at Canton Custom Guitars. Google the name.

Rick’s prices are quite reasonable compared to many other fully custom luthiers.
