This is the Badmoon that may have never been. Izzy the builder was going through his batch of wood and found a body buried away, that he had started working on and never finished. He asked us if we wanted it, so here she is. This one came out beautifully and has a classic appearance in it's all Aged Black finish, bound in grained ivoroid.  

The Badmoon is a set-neck 24 3/4" scale Semi-Hollow Body guitar by Ronin and is as rare of a model as they come. This guitar in Aged Black is extremely loud for an electric acoustically, due to its Old-Growth Redwood body and Honduran Mahogany set-neck. All of the acoustic information gets transferred to its unique and sophisticated electric voice. It blooms with a breath like pulse when chords or notes are left to ring out and has tremendous sustain and perfect note-to-note separation: Much of this is due in part to it's construction, the large 50's style "Les Paul" U shaped neck and the unique Ronin Foil-Bucker & Single-Foil pickup designs. It is nothing short of amazing and an incredibly inspiring guitar. Pick with a light touch for clean and warm tones with tons of clarity or dig in for biting, snappy, blues and rock tones. The guitar reacts extremely well to where the volume & tone controls are set, giving you a wide palate to create your own signature sound.
This Single-Foil in the neck position is warm and inviting when clean, while handling overdrive like a champ; giving you raunchy yet articulate blues tones in spades. The bridge Foil Bucker is like the best sounding PAF Humbucker, mixed with the crisp and airy tone of a great vintage Gold Foil pickup. Both pickups have loads of girth and clarity. They are extremely responsive to your touch & where your volume knob is set. As you lower the volume control this guitar never looses its tonal characteristics. Perfect for cranking your tube amp and using the volume knob on your guitar to go from clean to dirty. It’s a tone that could only be believed by playing, feeling and hearing the guitar in person. It’s the kind of tonality that excites the senses and stands out at a gig or in a mix.

The Badmoon is also the perfect instrument for solo guitar work. It excels when finger-picked, with a Gretsch-like thump in the middle position. Harmonics that leap off the fretboard and musical feedback are both staples of the Badmoon's design. In a mix with other players the tonality is more than crisp enough to cut through a mix, especially in the bridge position.
