I always search for Ruokangas Guitars. As a former authorized dealer I can attest to the quality, playability and tone. I was one of the first dealers in the world to stock Unicorns when they came onto the scene after years of painstaking research by Juha to capture the best of the ’59 Burst while adding modern features that take the platform up a notch from current production instruments. These guitars are in the top tier of modern instruments. People who have worked with PrimeGuitars over the past 13 years know us for consultative sales and honest feedback. These guitars ARE top tier. CLARITY and STRING-TO-STRING DEFINITION. A piece that vibrates in your hand. THIN nitro finishes. Unique colors. The use of Cedar (others are just catching on the Cedar vs. Mahogany).
Why did we stop carrying them new?….simple…in the US they are super expensive new. People just had trouble ponying up for these instruments. In Europe, they are considered amongst the top of the food chain.
Solution?….I continue to stock them USED because they represent about the best value one could attain in the boutique marketplace.
