NEWS: Hutchins Brian Jones signature

Want! *grabs at screen* Check this out. The Hutchins Brian Jones Signature Series. It's a remake of the Vox Teardrop played by Jones in the Rolling Stones. Only 250 are being made. 37 are going to the US.

The body is premium basswood. Anyone know what wood the originals were made out of? Were they basswood too? Anyway, these babies ship with a hard case and are available in Vintage White finish only. Retail price is $US1,200.

I can see these being especially popular in Europe. And in my house. Despite my near-legendary love of 80s shred guitars, stuff like this really does it for me.

Specs include:
2 Entwistle Single Coil Pickups
Premium Basswood Body
Rosewood Fretboard
Mother of Pearl Dot Inlays
Bolt On Neck Attachment
1 11/16" Nut Width
Fixed Bridge
1 Volume, 1 Tone Control
3 Way Blade Switch
24 3/4" Scale
21 Medium Frets
British Tweed Signature Hardshell Case

Hutchins started in 1996 and their designs seem heavily influenced by the guitars that were popular in the UK during the 60s. Check out their Retro Star, Saffron, Doodlebug and Venue models at their website. Oh and then there's this...

There's also a cool store specializing in Hutchins guitars, Cooper's Music.
