Ep - 20 Ron Thorn, Fender Custom Shop Principal Master Builder

Ron Thorn, Principal Master Builder with the Fender Guitars custom shop took some time out of his day to chat with me via zoom. Ron and I obviously talked a lot about his career from the early days of doing custom inlay work for the Fender Custom Shop via the Thorn Guitars company prior to joining Fender. How he found himself employed at the Fender Custom Shop as the Principal Master Builder there. His love of muscle cars, and cars in general, as well as some of his automotive restoration projects. We scratched the surface on a couple of Ron’s amazing custom one off guitar builds. We dug into Ron’s background as a guitar player and how he got started playing the six string. Ron filled me in a little about his current personal guitar collection and told an incredible story about a specific serial numbered Guild Brian May signature guitar that he tried to purchase but got scooped out from under him, and then years later inadvertently found again and bought from a very special surprise seller! We also talked about a whole bunch more, and had a great time!
