This is one of Thorn's more radical builds, and designed specifically for the previous and only owner. R119767 was ordered in 2018 via Rainbow guitars in Arizona, delivery promised in 2019, and actually arrived in 2020.
 
Based on a 1962 Jazzmaster, R119767 is a 2 piece Alder finished in the most amazing deep red metallic (classified as 'sparkle') - the code is LAC, and described as Very Dark Cherry Red Sparkle. The sides and back are black. The neck is quartersawn roasted Maple, with a 7.25" radius, and vintage 45085 frets on an Ebony fretboard. The nut width is 1.65", the vital 1st and 12th stats being 0.82" to .90". A familiar Jazzmaster tremolo is paired with Thorn's RSD saddle. I'll dispel the myth - these units are adjustable for both height and intonation.
The 3 pick-ups are Curtis Novak Tissue box units and each has an on/off slider so you can select any and all. A Master Volume, Master Tone and Blender complete the controls. The blender operates on both Neck and Bridge pick-up, blending in and out the one that is not selected by the sliders.
These Tissue Box units are modelled on the Barney Kessel pick-ups originally made by Kay between '58 and '68 and are very similar in character to P-90s - very present mid-range and a strong treble. These are all wound to the customers' requirements - these are: Neck 8.75k, Middle 9.51k and Bridge 10.59k.
 
The case is full of candy, and the CoA and SFT are present and correct in their binder.
 
It's as lovely to play as it is to look at, and a marvellous addition to any collection.
