Overview: Michael Cadiz' "Robert Ruck Tribute Model" is based on a particularly fine 1979 Robert Ruck guitar which features Ruck's early bracing system of 6 fans and a treble bar. The instrument offered here is number 4 in a projected series of 30 Tribute guitars Michael Cadiz will craft with wood parts from Robert Ruck's workshop.
This powerful concert guitar seamlessly blends a wide, even, dynamic range, with a warm, exceptionally deep, resonant, traditional musical sound. Its broad subtly diverse color palette is as impressive as its low quick string set up - a Robert Ruck trademark. A "Certificate of Authenticity" signed and dated by Michael Cadiz accompanies this guitar.
