More about 2022 Ron Thorn Masterbuilt Prestige Hawaiian Dream Resonator NOS

Koa wood is revered for its beauty, tone and symbolism, and it's only grown in one place on Earth: Hawaii. Ron Thorn built this koa resonator in celebration of Hawaii's "rich musical heritage and love of slide and steel guitars." The extra-thick koa hollow body helps produce additional volume and projection from the hand-spun resonator cone. The koa set-neck fingerboard is adorned with Hawaiian flower position marker inlays in a selection of pearl, abalone and semi-precious stone. Thorn hand-engraved the bronze-plated brass top in a floral motif with bird-of-paradise sound holes, an elegant design element also found on the body's curly koa back. The onboard active preamp allows blending of the neck pickup and piezo biscuit bridge pickup for endless electric/acoustic resonator tones when plugged in.

This instrument is one-of-a-kind and was sold to Thomann Music, Germany.
