Peter Malinoski is an artist making guitars. He’s got plenty of models, but the one that appeals to me the most is his Ramrod model. It’s the birth child between a Les Paul and a Tele. I love the curvy lines. Very cool design, features, and use of domestic woods without all the same old finish bling you see from other makers — woods like Spanish cedar, Grafted Walnut, Cherry, Spalted Maple, etc. and with natural oiled finishes.
Here are the typical features
- 24-3/4″ scale
- 12″ radius
- 1-11/16″ nut
- dual action truss rod
- 2 carbon fiber struts
- 24 frets
- 2 or 3 pick-ups
- Tonepros wraptail bridge
- Hipshot tuners
- Bournes / CTS pots
- 3-way toggle or 5-way switch
- BASE – $2200
The Ramrod has been designed to cover all sonic basses. It can be loaded with a variety of pick-up choices to take you anywhere you want to go… and all wrapped in a softly contoured, comfortable and beautiful modern instrument.
