Ergonomic design, master-level fretwork, custom pickups, and innovative bridges - Ron Thorn's SoCal C/S delivers tone, comfort, and precision in one.

Then there’s the neck. A comfortable medium-C carve, precision fretwork with Ron’s signature hidden fret ends, a 10" radius, and no string tree (thanks to a finely calculated neck angle). It’s all anchored by a rock-solid dovetail neck joint. The result? A neck that disappears under your fingers. No resistance. No distractions. Just pure connection between player and instrument.

Electronics-wise, the C/S is full of surprises. Ron’s in-house wound VC-50 pickups deliver expanded Strat-style tones with more girth and clarity, especially in the bridge position. From bell-like cleans to edge-of-breakup bite, and even into high-gain territory, the C/S inspires across the tonal spectrum.

And finally, Ron’s bridge designs are in a class of their own. The 1-piece tremolo glides with precision and expressive nuance - stable, smooth, and completely solid tuning-wise.

In every respect, the C/S reflects the mind of a master builder who never stops refining. It's a guitar that feels custom-made for players who demand both performance and artistry in equal measure.
