Hello, I'm new to this site. I found it while looking up a British/MIJ Cleartone CMI Tele Artist Model that I just bought on ebay.
It's black with the block logo/large C running over the top and bottom of the MI (just like the two white tele artist models posted on here) It has a brass nut and the pickups have been changed for Seymour Duncan Tele52's.
I read on this site that the nut is a give away clue to it being built in Fuji,

And some of the stuff I'v read on here suggest from the logo it was built after 72 and before 76 but I'm not sure about that.
I'll post picture as soon as it arrives.
What I would really like to know is, What is the difference between a standard Cleartone guitar and the Artist Model?
This is the best place to find CMI info, Thanx guys |

Thanks for posting! Looks like there isn't much activity here now, and 1bassleft seems to have completely disappeared (which is very unfortunate in terms of his knowledge. I've PM'ed and have heard nothing in the past year.)
I've been watching numerous ebay listings here in the US and in the UK to see what's out there. There is an ES-335 (the first 335 I've come across, and for that matter only the second hollow-body, my ES-175 being the first) that I'd love to own but just can't afford right now:

There have been some amps, a Tele (the one you may have bought- if so I'm jealous!) and I think I remember a Strat that was up a while back. They're few and far between, however.
I know nothing other than what is in this thread and that my ES-175 is a great playing guitar. Good luck finding more out about yours! Post anything if you do find info! Seems the "Artist Model" may just be a standard- IIRC most everything I've seen in the way of Fender copies has that on it. |

Yeah it's a shame about 1bassleft - he was indeed a wise man despite playing bass  |

| Hi... I have one of those rare cmi 335s in cherry. I've had it 3 years now, and would love to know more about its origins and what it's worth? [/url] |
