Classic Strat styles with infinate options
Strat clones are coin of the realm for any Luthier. RBG builds classy ST Strat style guitars using original factory specs. We've built numerous one off's with virtually ANY neck profile, body option, or hardware. The Kandyman started out as an experiment in finishing. Originally the Candy Apple paint style evolved in the '50's hot rod shops. It's a very labor intensive finish with 3 seperate finishes stacked, one on top of the other. The Kandyman gets a base finish of seal coats and leveling, then a silver metalic fleck finish. Once that is leveled and preped, a 3rd coat of transparent Nitrocellulose Lacquer is added, followed by 12 coats of hand rubbed and polished Piano Gloss Lacquer. The result is stellar and worth the effort. Hypnotic up close, the finish has more depth than any finish I've ever seen.
The Kandy OrangeKrush and the Kandy Apple get 3 single coil Fishman Fluence Strat pickups with push pull tone knob for Vintage tone select, and options include any number of Trem, Dtuna, and recesses.
