A stunner from master luthier Chuck Thornton. This Classic II features a lightweight Swamp Ash body with a 2-Tone Burst finish with enhanced pores. We chose to equip this guitar with dual white-top Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Dynabuckers (true Dynasonic pickups in humbucker size)
The achievable tones are instantly recognizable and incredibly versatile. Think Chet Atkins or Duane Eddy. Many modern and well known guitarists are now using Dynasonic equipped Tele’s as well; such as Bill Frisell and Julian Lage. Many examples of 50's Gretsch and Guild guitars were also equipped with Dynasonic pickups such as the Duo Jet and 6120 models. If you like the album "Crazy Legs" by Jeff Beck, you can hear him playing his 50's Duo Jet equipped with Dynasonic pickups on every track.
As with all Thornton’s, the build quality, tones and playability are all top notch. If you’re looking for your next main squeeze; this exceptional instrument will not disappoint.
