A rare-bird at that. This is a one of-a-kind Ronin Mod-Shop Alamo Ryder short scale guitar. The instrument itself was built in San Antonio, Texas sometime in the early to mid 1960's. Ronin recently gave this guitar their full Mod-Shop treatment. It is equipped with dual Ronin Foil-Buckers "Fire Wind" set, which is a tad hotter than a standard Foil-Bucker pickup set, giving this short scale guitar a ferocious sound with plenty of unique sonic characteristic; usually only found on Ronin's now discontinued high-end guitar models. You also get two push buttons to individually split the coils on each pickup.
As a shop who was lucky enough to be a dealer for some of the last few Ronin guitars available to the public, we are well versed in Ronin's more than incredible pickups and attention to detail. We can truly say that this instrument has seen incredible attention to detail in the mods it received and can truly hold its own in almost any situation.
The scale length is 22", making this guitar somewhat reminiscent of the vintage Fender Duo-Sonics and Music-Masters of the day, which used the same scale. The Fingerboard has undergone heat-treatment and a refret by Ronin Guitars, to make this Axe one hell of a player. All the electronics were also changed out for high-quality components. It is a a fun little instrument to have around as a writing tool, picking on the couch or in the studio, but hat only scratches the surface of what this little bugger can do. Plug it in and a whole new world of possibilities opens up. With the 22" long scale, far reaching or hard to play chords and quick melody lines are a breeze. The guitars plays with ease with a perfect action of 3 1/2 to 4 64th's E to E at the 12th fret. Don't let this one get away! ( The Ronin Morningstar guitar in last picture is not included. It is there for size reference and to share the IG post with you***)Â
