Ryan is so busy with back ordered guitars that when he finishes a new guitar it is usually sent immediately. I always complain that I would like to get some professional pictures of these beautiful guitars but Ryan counters with the fact that the new owner has been waiting a long time for his guitar so he has to ship it off as soon as it is done. Living in Salt Lake City, 80 miles from Ryan, most the time I don't even get to see the finished guitars!
Here are some pictures taken recently by another new Thorell Guitar owner. These pictures, of the
Thorell "FV Premium" Guitar, and a good discussion on Thorell Guitars has recently been posted on
The Gear Page.(Great website - see link below) Thanks for posting these pictures and for being part of this discussion on Ryan's Guitars. I hope it is OK that I show your pictures. Click on his pictures to see an enlarged view.
