Thorn Jr. 90 Hot Rod #6 For Sale - One of the "Bruise Brothers". Fantastic playing and sounding guitar, but I decided that the ultracool flames
motif is just not me. This is just too nice of a guitar to sit in my closet, it needs to be played. Happily, I have two other Thorns to handle my playing
needs and the proceeds of this sale will go towards my next Thorn project. Specs are listed below, and I've added a couple pictures along with Ron's
intro pics. Guitar is in mint conditons, basically the same shape as I received it new. I chose the hotter '86 Pasadena bridge p/u and the '80 neck.
SOLD

John, everyone needs a little "wild side" to their guitarsenal!
I can't imagine you NOT owning it. But none the less, that Koa Jr90 is KILLER! Hope you come around and decide to keep her. Won't be any more of
these made. |

I hear you, totally mixed feelings on letting it go. But, I'd rather someone have it and play the crap out of it than it being a closet queen. It's
just a smoking great player.

God I love that guitar. Why, oh why, haven't I inherited any money yet? Hey John, rent to own? Payment plan? J/K. She deserves a better player than me
anyway.

One time price bump - I'll take $3900 shipped.
Partial trades/trades considered: Bakers, Andersons, CS Tele's, Tylers, PRS McCarty trems or Grissom models, Gibson LP's, etc. Probably a high end amp or two I'd consider.

So John congrats on sale, and congrats to new buyer. So who is the lucky owner and where is this one headed off to?

Thanks Dane, it will be bittersweet watching it go. The new buyer is a Thornie, that's all I'll say until I check with him.

Actually, I was joking about
the rent/payment thing, but not the love for that instrument, and actually all the Hot Rods (especially with trems). I am saving my pennies and hope that when
I have enough of them saved, an instrument like this is available for me. Besides, by that time, I'll hopefully be a lot better and not embarass myself by
stepping up at the local blues jam with the nicest instrument there but the worst chops!
