A great example of the Thornton Professional model. Built in 2007 this guitar has been well cared for, with only normal signs of light use. Most importantly the guitar plays beautifully. Some play / finish wear & dings are to be expected. See photos.
If you're looking for an easy to handle (13 5/8" lower bout) Semi Hollow body built with the gigging and studio musician in mind; the CP Thornton Guitars Professional should not be overlooked.
Chuck has always put his efforts into building the highest quality guitars possible; as well as offering them at modest price-points with no corners cut. The Professional is made of all solid woods and it features a fully carved top and back. This one features Lollar Imperials and sounds gorgeous.
Upon picking up this guitar, the first thing you will notice are it's acoustic properties. This Professional's unplugged tone is rich and warm with plenty of volume for a semi-hollow body. The second thing to note is the ease of playability. The action is superb up and down the fingerboard, with ample access to the upper registers due to the guitars generous heel cutaway.
With a wide tonal pallet, the Professional is sure to delight musicians of all styles.
