Thorn J2V2-FOC
A Korina-body, fixed-bridge sibling to the J2V2, with a 3-pickup Seymour Duncan lineup and a Velvet Blue finish.
About this guitar
The J2V2-FOC shares the J2V2’s bolt-on ‘Precision Lock’ construction and quartersawn maple neck but swaps to a Korina body and a fixed Thorn Knuckle-Wrap bridge in place of the vibrato. Pickups expand to a Seymour Duncan Saturday Night Special, JB Jr. and Lollar ‘64 set, wired through a single volume and 3-way switch. Cosmetics keep the same glow-in-the-dark slanted-block inlays and 4-ply pickguard as the J2V2, finished here in Velvet Blue. Ships in a G&G hardshell case. Build-to-order — wood, hardware and finish choices are priced individually beyond the base price.
