"This is one of the best new guitars I've ever played." ~TME Customer

The Piatta is light as air - almost disarmingly so the first time you pick it up. This stunning, lightly aged Gemini Blue (the original prototype, no less) clocks in at just 6lbs 2oz, and every other one we’ve had has landed right in that range. The result? A perfectly balanced, agile, lightning-quick instrument with no headstock dive and a ton of personality.

That feel carries through in the playing experience: smooth fretwork, clean lines, effortless playability, and killer tones. Ron's own Rod 90 (neck) and GT 95 (bridge) pickups push the Piatta into punchy, snarling, yet clear and articulate territory.

Through a British-voiced 15-watt amp (from a new builder we’ll be shouting about very soon), this guitar just comes alive. Rock players especially will find a lot to love here, but, this guitar can flex into just about any lane you want.

All told, it’s just outstanding stuff. But really, what else would you expect from Ron Thorn?

PS - Check out Ron's Knuckle Wrap bridge!! Such a cool design.
