The Ian Thornley Signature Series Classic S Antique is a Classic S built around two Suhr Aldrich humbuckers, with a V63+ single coil between them. Each tone control is a push/push switch that puts its humbucker into parallel, so neck and bridge can each run series or parallel on their own.
The roasted maple neck is carved to the Ian Thornley V, .875" to .970", a fuller carve than the Classic S and its 60's C, with a 16" radius, jumbo stainless steel frets and a gold decal logo. Stainless frets wear far more slowly than nickel. The body is alder, with Suhr locking tuners and a 2-Post Tremolo with solid saddles and a steel block.
The two finishes are dressed differently. Sonic White has a roasted maple board, an aged green 3-ply guard and raw nickel Aldrich covers. Roughneck has an Indian rosewood board, a tortoise 3-ply guard and reverse zebra Aldriches. For the same V neck and series/parallel idea on the offset body, look at the Ian Thornley Signature Series Classic JM.
