A masterfully built electric guitar from Ron Thorn, the Florentine Singularis blends luxurious tonewoods, elite craftsmanship, and effortless playability into a truly inspiring instrument.

If you’re a player or collector looking for something truly exceptional, the Thorn Florentine Singularis belongs at the top of your list. Built by Ron Thorn, one of the most meticulous and respected luthiers in the industry, this guitar is a showcase of master-level craftsmanship from the moment you crack the case to the first chord you strum.

The curly koa top is stunning in person, with a depth and shimmer that’s hard to capture in photos. Every inch reveals thoughtful detail, from the 4-ply maple/ebony body top purfling to the bound black limba neck and old-growth Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, complete with mother of pearl crown inlays, rolled edges, hidden fret ends, and a hand-cut sterling silver truss rod cover. Loaded with a set of Ron Ellis “Bette” humbuckers, the tone is as refined and expressive as the instrument itself.

In-hand, the Fat ’59 neck profile is an instant comfort zone, somewhere between a vintage Gibson and a well-worn Fender, with a perfect balance of width and depth. It’s substantial but never cumbersome, and paired with the slick setup and a set of 9s, it’s incredibly easy to play. From clean articulation to thick, saturated gain tones, this guitar sings across the board.

Words only go so far, but guitars like this speak for themselves. This is top of the mountain stuff: a masterbuilt instrument that doesn’t just impress, it inspires.
