A Fool & His Money are Soon Parted, but amazing, quality work. Thoroughly recommended.

It now has the best action I've enjoy enjoyed on a Rick, surpassing the brand-spanking new Blackstar I bought to take with me to Japan in 1989.  This bas is righteous!

They did a great job on it. Very impressive. I'm not surprised that it plays that well.

We always talk about the dead-flat Rick neck, this is it. Wow!

That was Paul Boyer's former Naked Tux, no?

That's some sweet work !. Interesting about the carbon fibre rail . How's it all sound plugged in ?

A good modern Rickenbacker sound. Nothing extraordinary.

I've owned and played two or three Blackstars and at least one other Tux. This one lines up with them, tone- wise. I'm happy with it
