The RK is here !!!
I just received the RK Barncaster I ordered 3 months ago. Please don't ask me how it plays, Its warming up to room temperature right now. I did take a few picture. I will take some more in a near future.







Ron was a great guy to deal with throughout the whole process. I would order another in a minute but I am out of cash flow.

That's not a guitar, it's a work of art! Gorgeous! That man is seriously good at what he does. Kuddos...

By the way, CONGRATS! I'll bet it plays better than it looks, too!

And given what Ron says about amps ... how's that baby sound through that Peavey? Pictures nice .. sound clips would be so extra special.

Craftsmanship. A lost art anymore. It's good to that there is still some craftsmanship alive, both in the creation and on the appreciation side.

I am sure it looks even better in person, but thanks for sharing the photo's.

There's a "color" to the 3, 5, 7 15, 17, 19 & 21 fret markers. I cannot make it out. Is that just reflection? It looks very pretty in the pictures.

I'll be anxious to hear your impressions of how it sounds.

Enjoy and best of luck!

Cracks usually are.

Besides that, I'm a great fan of Ron's guitars!

Looks just like a crack. A big one too. Yikes.
