Thorn Custom Guitars and Inlay:
An Artisan Deluxe is a carved top "semi-custom" guitar. Specifications such as neck shape, fingerboard radius, and pickup configuration can be customized to suit. However, wood selection is limited and the fretboard inlays are Firesuns only. Full paua purfling is standard along with inlaid logo and inlaid truss rod cover. The standard components, such as knobs, pickup covers, and toggle tips are plastic as found on most guitars.
An Artisan Master is a full blown custom guitar. The wood choices are practically endless. Most of the plastic parts are replaced with wood, such as knobs, toggle tips, back plates and tuner buttons. Firesun inlays are standard but custom inlays are easily possible. This is the ultimate instrument for customization ...

Thurman Guitar & Violin Repair, Inc.
Along with my constant repair and sales work I occasionally build a guitar. Over the years I have developed a design principle which improves the tone and projection of the instrument. The generic name is the "Three Dimensional (3-D) Sound Hole." I also call it the "Thurman Multi-Dimensional Sound Port."
Actually, they come in pairs and are located on either side of the neck and extend out to the curve of the upper bout. They are "multi-dimensional" because each continuous port simultaneously exists in both the front and side panels of the guitar. These new symmetrical, bilateral sound ports allow the acoustical energy trapped in the upper bout to flow efficiently out and forward. The player's hand, reaching up the fingerboard for notes over the body, doesn't touch the edge of the instrument because that area is now open! ...

The two famous brothers, Porfirio Delgado Flores (Pilo) and Candelario Delgado Flores (Candelas) were born in Tarreon, Mexico in the state of Cohahuila. Candelas was born in 1911and Pilo in 1913. As young men, they began different careers. Pilo began to work as a cabinet-maker and Candelas began to work as a guitarist and singer in Guadalajara. Later they sang together and were known as "Los Hermanos Candelas" (The Candelas Brothers) and in 1928 construction began of their own instruments in their home. The brothers organized a Cuban-style band called "Son Torreon" and made all of the instruments for the band members. Candelas has been credited by many with making the first "cut-away" guitar for their band.
