Tone: A popular wood/pickup combination providing classic P-90 growl with incredible resonance and sustain. The semi-hollow option increases the low-end without sounding muddy or flabby while the highs remain crisp and articulate. This guitar is ideal for practically any application from Jazz to Rock. The design and construction allows for all the tonal advantages of a semi-hollow body, without the feedback or other high-volume problems.

This is the first Thorn to feature a floating matched flamed maple pickguard complete with faux binding and paua abalone purfling.
