Yup, it's a sycamore top. The other one is mine.
What others have said is correct: an analog synthesizer is not good for realistic imitations of an acoustic piano. Those DSI/Sequential synths can...
Was it engraved, like a Zamaitis, or something like a Trussart? Knowing the name of the magazine might help with a search.
Hey, that's the top sister of mine. Congrats, and great picture!
I think there are four Thorn SS guitars that have map designs by Dan Lawrence. Dane's was the first. See the original Thorn forum pics here:...
Whenever I look at the pictures of this series, I find myself thinking about Eva singing Autumn Leaves. She would have looked and sounded damn...

I have an older SKB case and it has held up well, but I prefer the G&Gs I've got for fit and finish and interior details. I have also been...
It...has...arrived!
Yup, I've seen the two tops side by side. Who is coming with me?
Yeah, Ron and I first talked about it when he was working on another guitar for me (see my avatar pic - Thorn AM #105 is my #1 guitar). I knew he...
On its way to me. So excited! [MEDIA]
I own the Artisan SFC prototype, which is solid mahogany (no cap), with a mahogany neck and BRW fingerboard. Oiled finish. It has DiMarzio virtual...
Play what you like. IMO, split or tapped HBs do not sound the same as s-type single coils. They each do their own thing. Same with P-90s and...
I have been fortunate to meet great people from this forum, dating back to the original PRS forum, over a long period of time. In those cases, I...
A great addition, John! Looking forward to the finished pics!
Sweet build, Ron, and nice work Scott! Matt Artinger has done spruce tops. They're standard on his electric nylons, for example, though mine has...
Never played one of the guitars. I'd love to play one sometime. I'm definitely a fan of PWE amps! [MEDIA]
I don't think there are any guitars that exactly match your spec. All of the Artisan double cuts have a 25" scale. The only ones with 24.75" scale...
"And this is my whammy bar. And it's gonna be loud." Rock on, Ron!
This. I agree that most folks I know who picked up a ukulele did it because they thought it would be easy to learn. There are some serious...
CE-2w announce / comment thread over here: https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/boss-announces-ce-2w.1717563/
I was actually just looking at vintage CE-2s and hoping there would be a Waza reissue. I'm excited by the announce and the extra features, even if...
Could have been recorded direct - I used to do a lot of direct guitar tracking back in the 80s, and Mike Oldfield was a big influence on me, but I...
Do a search for Glorfindel box. Mike Oldfield had a custom-made box that he used to get some of the unique tones on his earlier records -...
