RB-600CS Classic Series : Something Just a Little Different

What a great little guitar! When I pulled it out of the box it was smaller than I expected. Not small mind you - but smaller than I expected. To be honest I love the size and I have to say it's comfortable in the hand and around your neck or sitting on your knee.

The inspired body shape is just a little different than the endless stacks of LP and Strat clones and so - a breath of fresh air. The combination of mahogany body, top, and maple neck add to the sound and the fit and finish are really first rate. The neck feels like a C profile - not to skinny and not too thick. The rosewood fretboard and has dot markers and decently sized well dressed frets. The tuners are on the small side but seem to get the job done Without fuss or bother.

The electrics seem fine though perhaps just a bit lightweight. The pickups have a hint of the old school sound and shimmer and work great clean or with some gain. They are lower output - but hey - that's what amps are for right? Right.

All in all this is a wonderful guitar and a great price so I say why not give something just a little different a try.
