Toneking and McKnight have a guitar company now.

I wonder how many tens of pre-orders they have now...

They sold out from what I heard yesterday, oddly enough.

Phil talked about it. They sold 50 which was their absolute top number and no more. Because they can't make more. They sold out in couple of days and where turning people away. Also one buyer, one guitar policy.
He also said they were hoping they'll sell 3 (three), and if they sold 13 that would be beyond awesome. He ended up with a prototype because they sold the one that he was supposed to get.
Just to put things into perspective, he said, paraphrasing, "it's a couple of friends making guitars for themselves and while they're at it selling a couple of them also".

Cool. Phil's actually a good dude, I visited his shop several times back in the day
