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.
