Artisan Deluxe  # 128

Body: Black Limba ~ Semi-Hollow
Top: 5A Quilt Maple sans f-holes
Neck: Birdseye Maple
Fretboard: Brazilian Rosewood
Bridge: Thorn 1-pc. tremolo w/ LR Baggs piezo saddles
Pickups: Rio Grande Bastard + BBQ
Color: Purple mist

Initial tone report:
This was a unique wood and construction method (semi-hollow) build. I'm not sure if there is another Thorn that shares this combo so I could only guestimate some of it's tonal properties.
The neck tones on this are really thick. When you add in say 30% piezo blend with the neck the result is the fullest 12-string like tones you can imagine. Awesome!
The bridge pickup is rockin'. The BBQ never let's you down in that department.

Thanks for hanging in there Doug - enjoy.
