The Music Emporium

Thursday | October 9th | 6-8pm

The evening will shine a spotlight on Thorn guitars, with a wide range of in-stock models available to try, including several new, unreleased models making their debut. You’ll also have the rare opportunity to hear directly from Ron Thorn about his instruments, his process, and the story behind his collaboration with Josh. 

Plus, a few lucky guests will take home Thorn’s reissued pickups and his brilliant Brass Knuckle bridges for Teles and Jazzmasters.

Drinks, bites, and a great hang - plus it's free. Join us!

A huge thanks to Lyle Lovett and his band for stopping by the shop yesterday - it was a true highlight for the TME crew, many of whom are lifelong fans. Pictured here: Diego, Andy, Adam, Joe, Holly, Ian, and Eliot alongside Lyle and his guitarist, Keith Sewell. A day to remember!
