As I'm sure most of you are aware, this Saturday (Oct. 6th) is the LA Amp Show. If you're planning on going, please feel free to stop in the Thorn / Phat Daddy Guitarworks booth and check out our latest offerings from the shop. In addition to a handful of standard Junior Ninety models we'll have available there, we are extremely excited to introduce two new Limited Edition THORN Junior Ninety models.
THORN Junior Ninety 'Hot Rod'
THORN Junior Ninety 'Hot Rod' Specifications:
* Korina Body (Chambered) & SET Neck.
* Ebony Fretboard w/ Sterling Silver rimmed Mother of Pearl dots.
* Inlaid Flame Maple Top!
* Hot Rod Flamed Finish - each one individually hand striped and painted by Glenn Matejzel and Dan Lawrence!
* NEW Thorn "Pasadena 80" or Thorn "Pasadena 86" humbuckers hand-wound by John Gaudesi.
* Volume / Tone / 3-way Low-profile Toggle Switch (on shoulder) + optional 3-way Series/Split/Parallel mini toggle.
* Hardtail or 1-pc. Tremolo.
* Sperzel locking tuners with straight string-pull.
* 10-14 Compound radius fretboard ~ 25" scale.
* Medium-fat neck carve .840 - .930, with rolled fretboard edges.
* 22 hand-polished fret with hidden fret-ends.
* German nickel silver fret wire (.095 wide x .047 tall).
* Nickel hardware.
* Deluxe leather bound G & G hardshell case included.
* Limited Edition of 10.
In response to overwhelming requests for the Junior Ninety with a dual humbucker layout, we decided we'd go big or go home!
Our new Thorn "Pasadena 80" neck and bridge humbuckers are voiced to deliver great lead tones and rhythm sounds handling classic rock, blues and even rock-a-billy. A round, even-toned, mid-output humbucker with a very clear and articulate neck position that's never muddy and a bridge position that's never too bold or too bright.
Where the Pasadena 80 leaves off the Pasadena 86 takes over with a slightly hotter output to drive the front end of your amplifier. The bridge position retains the articulation of the Pasadena 80 and adds that extra bit of push, while the neck position provides an even low-midrange drive.
The lightly chambered body configuration allows for either the Hardtail or the Tremolo bridge.
Each incredible "Flames on Flame" design is individually hand striped and painted by Glenn Matejzel and Dan Lawrence - the two masters of graphics. The inlaid flame maple top is the perfect canvas for the hot rod flame's natural outlines and the unlimited candy color combinations. No stencils, no decals...these will be hand striped in the traditional way and no two will be exactly the same.
Hot Rod Prices: $3700 for Hardtail / $3850 for Tremolo
The two shown above will be available at the Amp Show. We are now accepting deposits for the remaining 8 guitars built to your specifications with a choice of hardtail or tremolo and the optional mini-toggle and color combination
We are offering a $200 Amp Show discount for orders placed now through October 13th, either online or in-person at the show.
THORN Junior Ninety 'Curly Koa'
THORN Junior Ninety 'Curly Koa' Specifications:
* Korina Body (Chambered) & SET Neck.
* Ebony Fretboard w/ Gold Mother of Pearl dots.
* Inlaid Curly Koa Top!
* Thorn Jr-91 staple-top P-90 pickup in the neck.
* Thorn Jr-92 staple-top P-90 pickup in the bridge.
* Volume / Tone & 4-way switching.
* Hardtail or 1-pc. Tremolo.
* Sperzel locking tuners with straight string-pull.
* 10-14 Compound radius fretboard ~ 25" scale.
* Medium-fat neck carve .840 - .930, with rolled fretboard edges.
* 22 hand-polished fret with hidden fret-ends.
* German nickel silver fret wire (.095 wide x .047 tall).
* Gold hardware.
* Vintage Natural finish in nitrocellulose lacquer.
* Deluxe leather bound G & G hardshell case included.
* Limited Edition of 10.
In keeping with the traditional Junior Ninety concept, the Curly Koa inlaid top simply adds a little beauty to our familiar platform. The light body chambering allows the guitar to resonate while retaining an even balance of highs and lows. This results in a guitar which feels very vibrant and alive. An ebony fingerboard has been chosen for these guitars for an added snap and definition that is very player-friendly. Mahalo!
Curly Koa Prices: $3700 for Hardtail / $3850 for Tremolo
The one shown above, along with another, will be available at the Amp Show. We are now accepting deposits for the remaining 8 guitars.
We are offering a $200 Amp Show discount for orders placed now through October 13th, either online or in-person at the show.

It's a good thing I have my SFC on order or I would be extremely tempted to get a hot rod Jr. 90.
