About this guitar
The Singularis is Thorn’s most configurable Florentine-body set-neck guitar, offered solid or semi-hollow in mahogany, Korina, Black Limba or other woods, with a carved top in koa, curly redwood, rosewood or other exotics. Fretboard and headcap options extend to Brazilian rosewood, Madagascar rosewood or African blackwood, with custom inlay work available beyond the standard crown motif and an optional 4-ply maple/ebony purfling. Electronics again pair Ron Ellis humbuckers or Thorn P90s through dual volume/tone and a 3-way switch, with stoptail, trapeze or Bigsby tailpiece options over a Faber ABR-1 bridge. Ships in a hardshell case. Build-to-order — wood, hardware and finish choices are priced individually beyond the base price.
