And I still went in with a chisel and added more detail. Once all the programming was done, it took eight hours on the face and 11 hours on the back to get the scales done.
“I wanted to change the angles of the scales and the size of the scales. “I have literally hundreds of hours of drawing and manipulating the scale work,” Thorn said. It took Thorn took 19 hours on the milling machine to achieve the scaly “hide” of this eye-popping Strat. It’s also adorned with black hardware, a maple neck with ebony fretboard, a hand-cut and engraved sterling silver three-headed dragon sigil inlay on the first fret, as well as a hand-tooled and stained leather pickguard that features the Targaryen sigil. The Game of Thrones House Targaryen, Stratocaster pays tribute to the dynasty of the Targaryen bloodline with a “dragon scaled” alder body coated in a unique satin “Dragonglass Black” paint and a thin lacquer finish. “I remember as a kid, the Jaguar was the Fender that had the most ornamentation and embellishment on it, and I feel that the Lannisters are a very gold-plated house.” “The Lannister Jaguar has a fancier feel,” said Weiss. The lightweight alder body features 24k gold leaf with laser-cut heraldry design on both the front and back, a hand-cut and engraved brass Lion sigil inlay on the first fret, a 24k leaf heraldry design carved headstock face, gold hardware and a gold-plated pickguard engraved with the Lannister’s sigil. The Game of Thrones House Lannister, Jaguar is as opulent as the Red Keep in King’s Landing. The Starks have that integrity, that Northern no-nonsense approach, and it feels like a Telecaster embodies that.” “The Telecaster seems like it’s the instrument the good guy plays,” he said. Weiss, who serves as creator of Game of Thrones alongside David Benioff, thinks it’s befitting of the noble Stark family. The guitar also boasts a maple neck with ebony fingerboard, a hand-cut and engraved sterling silver Direwolf sigil inlay on the first fret in addition to an embossed nickel silver version on the pickguard.ĭ. Reflecting the shadowy pall of Winterfell’s landscape, the House Stark, Telecaster features inlaid silver purfling around the perimeter of its swamp ash body to separate the “Gray Wolf” color on the top and back, and “Raven Black” on the sides. It couldn’t be more me, as far as what I’ve done with guitars.” I would have been popping in every day and you would have had to shoo me away. In fact, if any of the other builders had gotten this project, I would have been so jealous. “I just felt like I was the right guy for the job,” he said. An avid Game of Thrones fan, Thorn immersed himself in the project – excited to channel his extensive experience in luthiery, inlay, engineering, engraving and CNC machining to honor one of his favorite television shows.
Since the Sigil Collection draws detailed inspiration from each House’s family seal, costume design, armor, weaponry and geography, Fender asked Principal Master Builder Ron Thorn to craft these singular guitars. As existing fans of the series, we couldn’t be happier with the final results and this partnership overall.” Weiss to ensure that our vision, design and materials reflected the identity of each house. “We worked directly and extensively with Game of Thrones’ creator and avid guitar player D. “This has been a two-year journey – much of it spent in the concept phase, nailing down a cool and authentic way to bring the two properties together,” said Justin Norvell, EVP Fender Products.
