There is nothing out there quite like a Ronin in the high-end Luthier built guitar market. The Ronin team of Izzy & John, have built a line of exciting and ground-breaking designs. Everything from the feel of their guitars neck carves, fret work, setups, extremely resonant Master Grade Old-Growth Redwood bodies and Ronins New Pickup designs; all culminate to create instruments that are as equally inspiring to play, feel and hear as they are to marvel at. Not to mention the extreme attention to detail, given to their lightly applied and artfully aged finishes, like on this White over Gold Relic Badmoon.
The Badmoon is a set-neck 24.5” scale Semi-Hollow Body guitar by Ronin and is as rare as they come. This one in particular is truly one of a kind with its “White Falcon” style appointments. The guitar is extremely loud unplugged, due to its Old-Growth Redwood body and Honduran Mahogany set-neck. All of the acoustic information gets transferred to its beautiful electric voice. It blooms with a breath like pulse when chords or notes are left to ring out and has tremendous sustain and perfect note-to-note separation: Much of this is due to its construction and the unique Ronin Foil-Bucker & Single-Foil pickup designs. It is nothing short of amazing and an incredibly inspiring guitar. Play with a light touch for clean and warm tones with tons of clarity or dig in for biting, snappy, blues and rock tones. The guitar reacts extremely well to where the volume & tone controls are set, giving you a wide palate to create your own signature sound.
This Single-Foil in the neck position is warm and inviting when clean, while handling overdrive like a champ; giving you raunchy yet articulate blues tones in spades. The bridge Foil Bucker is like the best sounding PAF Humbucker, mixed with the crisp and airy tone of a great vintage Gold Foil pickup. Both pickups have loads of girth and clarity. They are extremely responsive to your touch & where your volume knob is set. As you lower the volume control this guitar never looses its tonal characteristics. Perfect for cranking your tube amp & using the volume knobs to go from clean to dirty. It’s a tone that could only be believed by playing, feeling and hearing the guitar in person. It’s the kind of tonality that excites the senses and stands out in a mix.
This Custom Badmoon is the last of this flagship Ronin model to ever be built. It has been over a year in the making and is finally here. Due to the semi-hollow nature of these guitars and acoustic instrument grade woods; the Badmoon is also the perfect instrument for solo guitar work. It excels when finger-picked, with a Gretsch-like thump in the middle position. Harmonics that leap off the fretboard and musical feedback are both staples of the Badmoons design.
