Introducing Jhorn Custom Guitars!

NNG Thailand Guitar Custom Shop.

This place called "NNG Guitar" from Thailand makes copies of "higher end" instruments now! Don't want to wait 1-2 years for a skilled craftsman to build you a guitar? Buy a cheap knock-off from Thailand... they make tree-fitty an hour! Can't beat the quality there!

Fake...

vs

Real...

Do you guys see the difference?

Again... Fake....

vs

Real....

It's bad when they start going for small builders. First KXK, now Thorn.... weaksauce!


On a side note, their PRS copies look awesome however I heard from a buddy who spends half the year in Thailand for business that they are of poor quality... as if the above pictures/inlay couldn't tell you that already! Look... the Thorn "T" is BACKWARDS on their guitar! Awesometastic!

They look nice, about quality hard to tell, but the look is very, very good

Hey Matt, which one did you get?

Damn, I better run home and check mine to make sure Ron didn't swap mine out with an NNG Thailand Custom!!! They're so close, it's almost eerie...

Look on the bright side. If you bring that guitar camping, you can use the neck and fretwork to saw firewood!

 

[SunburnedCactus]

I'd be worried about throwing that on a fire, might have a cheap but highly flammable finish...

 

[poisonelvis]

thats the one you smash on stage.

Yes! I wonder if they spray their guitars with that Chinese lead-based paint too! Lead-poisoning and wood saw, all in one convenient package!

If i were gonna copy a thorn, i'd call my Company Porhn

+1 ZING!

At least they're not making Squire copys.

[abyssalservant]

That it does.
*pokes the guitar suspiciously*

I had no idea there were fake Thorn guitars. Wow.

They may be copies, but they look pretty good. :embarrassed:

Eh, if you compared the fake one with the real thing in person, you might think otherwise. Like I said, their PRS copies LOOK good but my buddy working in Thailand said they don't play/sound all that great. I just think it's hilarious that the Thorn "T" Logo is BACKWARDS on the copy! Good stuff....

 

[msherman]

Judging by the pics on their site on what a fire hazzard that factory is, lets hope it blows up soon
Ron must be TRIGGERED!
