Product information

Ron Thorn took everything a great Tele does and asked what it would take to do it better - this is the answer.

Some guitars stop you dead in your tracks, and not in a casual "cool guitar" way. It's more of a "I absolutely have to check this one out" way. Ron Thorn's G/T is that guitar for us.

The G/T embodies obvious Tele DNA, but it's not a replica or "just another Tele" by any stretch. It's been carefully rethought from the ground up by one of the most talented builders working today (who also happened to be a Fender Masterbuilder and head of the Custom Shop). So, when a builder like Ron Thorn revisits an iconic form, he's chasing something very specific. Every dimension, every material choice, every curve is in service of tone, feel, playabilitiy. The G/T is the result of that obsession.

At 7 lbs 4 oz it hangs like it was made for you - light, agile, and balanced in a way that makes a three-hour session feel like twenty minutes. Like all of Ron's guitars, there's a sleekness to it that reads immediately when you pick it up: this is a player's guitar, not a showpiece.

Plugged in, the G/T delivers everything a great Tele should - equal parts chime, clarity, twang, bite - and then some. Ron's Brass Knuckle bridge is machined from brass and engineered to function similarly to a wraptail, which adds subtle warmth and a silly amount of sustain without straying too far from classic Tele tones.

The neck is perfectly shaped (a medium C profile), the 6105 frets installed to deliver effortless playability. It rings. Notes bloom, chords ring for days, and the whole thing just feels alive under your hands.

An outstanding instrument by any measure, and one we'd love to add to our own collection! One day. One day.
