* Sensible Offers Considered**please contact me before bidding to answer questions and discuss shipping*I specced this beautiful guitar out with Ron in 2003/4 and i am the original ownerIt is a unique thorn from the early days and sounds unbelievableWe chose a single piece of incredible flame redwood which ron hollowed out so it is just a single of wood with lovely grained koa neck and one of the first set of koa capped WCR pickups that ron did way backHe also later added the ebony tailpiece for me with inlaid Thorn firesun logo in red coral so its sort of a brighter richer ES 330 type vibe but on a thorn double cut chassis -Weight under 7lbs!!!!!!!!!!The addition of the tone styler and split/parallel/series wiring for the neck pickup makes it amazingly versatile and it rings for days
