    2024 Ron Thorn Empirial

    wow, having read the suit, to say I'm shocked is an understatement, I like Ron's work (ihave some of his pickups) and he makes beautifull guitars but this is next level creepy. in hinesight it does explain his sudden leave from Fender.

    Gibson Garage London opening videos.

    Well I just moved out of the netherlands so that would be a pity :cautious:, but from a more commercial standpoint; I would open one in Germany, much more central to Europe and already a big market to begin with

    EMG active pickups - no sound?
