There's been some pictures on facebook displaying a new Schon Guitar. I can't figure out how to copy here so help is needed.

I love the fact that Schon is so busy, creating new music and revitalizing the Schon guitar. Sounds like the guy keeps busy.

UCK!!! As I was typing this I had to listen to a commercial with a remake of DSB!! Well, Rock of Ages is coming to Chicago, but it surprised me.

He made an announcement that he was re-launching the Schon brand of guitar a few months ago, but I haven't heard a word about when they are going to be available.

hopefully the idea hasn't gone by the wayside.

Here's what was posted on facebook from some guy in South Africa(I think). Looks like Schon guitars to me.

I hope not either- I did see a few pictures of him somewhere on MR.com with the Schon guitar, so hopefully, it's just taking a while to get things up and going.

I hate to say it, but I'm pretty sure that I've seen that picture before from a website that sells the leftover bodies from the original run back in the '80's- but, I could be wrong.

thT PHOTO is from ed roman guitars who bought all the remaining schon stock from jackson i believe, neal has someone else working on the new ones, unless hes teaming up with ed roman who builds copies also

Thanks for the info S16. I'm hoping this idea isn't dead!!

The guitars are going to be on display at NAMM in January- I guess that distribution is either set up or will be set up around that time frame. I have been wanting a Schon guitar since the mid 80's- might be time to sell my LP that I never play.

P.S. Neal- I'd like a yellow one with dual humbuckers-just sayin...

I would be surprised if Neal is actually bringing the Schon brand back...I'm thinking he probably has a new NS model coming out from PRS guitars, as he was playing PRS rather than his Les Paul NS models for his shows back in the spring.

The Schon model is being recreated. Looks like it is being done by Fernandes.

Hmm, how good are fernandez guitars?

well, Fernandez has always made decent guitars, not the most top of the line, but good. they also manufacture the sustainer that Neal has always used, so Neal has a long history with them. The pictures i have seen look great, and i really hope they are affordable, as they are definitely next on my gear list.

He said @ Facebook that it will be on display at NAMM. I WILL find it -TRUST ME! hehe I'll post pics.

There are 1/2 a dozen pics on F/B on his page.

yup

hopefully he will demo it.

Anyone go to NAMM and see anything of a new Schon guitar?

I was at NAMM, but couldn't find any sign of it.

maybe it will be in viet-NAMM
