Looks like Bill Nelson got his hands on one already.

Antix2, unfortunately that’s all they have right now. The Transitone has just gone into production, and the photos I got from Campbell American required a fair amount of re-touching (they were just quick snapshots really.) I expect to get more photos from them as they become available, so I’ll try to remember to send them your way.

Yep, it’s definitely got great lines, and if the Campbell American Precix I reviewed is any indication, the Transitone will be a beauty to play as well. The body shape looks quite comfortable to me –– provided it’s not too heavy ; )

I agree. It’s very different without feeling odd or silly. It’s got class.
Good eye on the headstock JP, I didn’t notice that at first.

I actually kinda like it. The hardware is definitely primo.

The body shape actually doesn’t go too extreme, and kinda has an old vette or t-bird aesthetic (2 tone) without being overtly retro-gaudy. Notice how the top end of the headstock matches the front end lines of the body.

Bill Nelson wouldn’t associate himself with cheese.
