Members knotty Posted December 11, 2013 Members Share Posted December 11, 2013 He is a fantasist. Says he is an audio engineer. Asked on recording forum what was best mixing desk and believed them when they told him it was the bheringer. He's a laughing stock wherever he has been.

Members billybilly Posted December 11, 2013 Members Share Posted December 11, 2013 I like some of them but don't like the lack of forearm contours. It's like having a sharp ridge under you asss on your cars seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you know this, but one of Ron Thorn's specialties is inlay work. In fact, Ron does all of the intricate inlay for Fender, Gretsch, Schector, ESP and Ibanez for California made guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frets99 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 These guitars are certainly beautiful and they sound great but like inexpensive guitars , you rarely see them played anywhere. You can turn on Palladia and watch concert after concert and for the most part all you're gonna see are Gibsons and Fenders. Not that they are necessarily inexpensive.

I watched the American Country Awards last night and I saw a few nice guitars. A couple PRS Private Stocks, a few $12,000 McPherson Acoustic Guitars, I saw a Suhr. A few really nice Les Pauls and of course Brad Paisley played his Crook Tele. Lotsd of Morgan amps too and a Trainwreck and Dr. Z amps. I did not see a Thorn, but the many of the guys that own them play them live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
