Product information

We hesitate to call anything perfect… but if you’re in the market for a boutique, LP-adjacent guitar that feels alive in your hands and disappears under your fingers? The Piatta comes awfully close.

This Rosso Corsa Piatta marks the ninth one we’ve received from LA-based luthier Ron Thorn, and if we’re being honest, the thrill hasn’t faded one bit. Every time we crack open the case, there’s that same reaction: audible gasps, followed by that “wait, how light is this thing?” moment. These guitars are featherweight, in the best possible way.

But it’s not just about weight (or lack therof). The Piatta delivers a rare mix of perfect balance (whether seated or standing), a fast, slinky neck, flawless fretwork, and effortless playability.

The pairing of a Ron Ellis humbucker in the bridge with one of Ron’s staple P90s in the neck opens up a massive tonal range that's bold, articulate, and endlessly expressive. And Thorn’s own wraptail bridge design seals the deal: beautifully engineered, accurate intonation, and super resonant.

Yes, these are precise instruments, but never sterile. They’ve got vibe, soul, and responsiveness that make you want to keep playing. No awkward neck carves. No fret buzz. No compromises. Just a guitar that gets out of the way, so you can get on with making music. Yes, please.
