Thorn Artisan Standard #180
Body & Neck: Black Limba
Fretboard: Ebony
Bridge: Thorn 1-pc. Tremolo
Pickups: Lollar P-90 Neck / Rio Grande Jazzbar P-90 Bridge
Fretboard Inlay: Black Mother of Pearl Firesun / Sterling Silver center
Purfling: Sterling Silver
Color: '79 Silver Burst
Tones:
Limba + P-90s + Thorn tremolo...That was e's formula for the classic #10 and six years later it still kills. The Lollar / Rio pickup combo is an excellent
pair - clear creamy neck tones & grindy growl bridge tones - sounds good to me!
In the looks department, oh baby!!! A tear drop silver burst with sterling silver purfling, the second James suggested that I was hook line and stinkered.
There was no way he was going to change those specs on me, this had to be built.
It's quite a departure from the norm and James' #179 & #180 are at both ends of the spectrum, but I think they will make for an awesome pair. Thank
you James, enjoy your new Thorns!
