Ron Thorn does amazing things with wood. He also does a lot of the custom inlay work for the big company's. He also has some of the best quilt tops I've ever seen in my life! :eek: If I had the money, I would get my name on the list right now, but I don't and probably wont for a long time :(

I missed the price list, how much are they going for?
Sometimes I hit notes only dogs can hear.

Currently the base price for all models is $arm and leg,but,with your choice of options the prices easily reach $soul.

The base price for the three models are $2150, $2600, and $3400. The prices are pretty high, but you can't get a PRS, Gibson, etc... with the same build quality, attention to detail, and service that you get with a Thorn. Buying one of these guitars is like buying a Private Stock PRS. It is built to your exact specifications, only about $8-10,000 less. So, for what you get, I think it's a fairly reasonable price, except for the standard line, which I do think is way overpriced. But, how cool is it that you get to choose your own top for the guitar, and can work with him to come up with a custom color.

The horns, headstock, and body radius's are much different. Maybe a slight resembalance from a distance, but that's it.
