This guitar is absolutely superb and one of a kind. It is up there with custom shop quality at a fraction of the price
It has been built up from top quality parts, Finished in nitrocellulose, road worn by myself and setup by myself at rkguitars.
setup with low action and perfect intonation with new super slinky strings fitted. The pickups are absolutely fantastic they sound incredible. The guitar itself plays phenomenally its just like playing a vintage instrument. The relic work is what I would call medium, the line up the middle follows the body join which became visible after the lacquer cracking process. I decided to exaggerate this and has no affect on the stability of the guitar, its rock solid. The body cavity is fully shielded so this thing is super quiet.
