There is just something awesome about a trans Blue over Korina. I spent about 3.5 hours jamming away and mostly on the Hot Rod, dig the Thorn HB's and the guitar is awesome. Great tone, great feel ( and I didn't choose my normal neck) yeah they look ok too Anyone that has one coming is in for a treat. Here are a few shots. Doing a little jammin Shots of the two headstocks, yes those are gold colored frets Shots of the backs of #033 and Hot Rod #01, yeah trans blue over Korina a shot from the front another shot of front Ron Thorn RULES!

How are they holdin' up Dane? #73 has the gold wire too. I think 1 or 2 others have it as well. These aren't the greatest shots in the world but you'll get the gist... My favorite detail: The flow of the RW grain through the "dot" at the center of the firesun. Too freakin' awesome. For the new and uninitiated that haven't seen me flog this horse endlessly, that's actually gold purfling and a gold 12th fret inlay. The frets themselves are actually not gold (that would be way too soft and useless) but some kind of toned nickle alloy I think? Ron? Here's a bit more of it... But I digress! Hey Dane, how bout a shot of the back of that shirt? -e.

I'd been leaning toward the black w/ orange for mine but those pics of the blue one have been swaying me a bit of late! Enjoy her buddy!! Rich D

It's only available in a couple sizes, 6105 (Tall and narrow) being this one. Eric is correct, there is no actual Gold in the wire, it's an alloy of nickel silver, copper, and I believe argentium or something goofy like that. It's hardness is equivalent to 18% Nickel Silver on the hardness scale. Tonally, I couldn't detect any noticable difference. Lookin' good Dano. ron

I posted this question on TGP several months ago, but nobody's tellin', understandably so. Can anybody help me get a crazy figured chunk of Koa so Ron can work his magic once the Gates of Oz open again? I'll be your friend -Chad

Don't even worry about trying to find some. If your going to have Ron build one for you when the gates re-open then he will have something you like.
