Story

After the success of our Mad Cat tribute guitar, we've had countless requests to do a similar guitar in various finishes. While it would be impossible to do them all, we thought it would be neat to blend the Mad Cat specs with some other iconic aesthetics... and what better place to start than with the Rosewood Tele?

Fans of George Harrison are sure to recognize the bold, yet elegant appearance of this guitar - but don't let its looks fool you. This Mad Cat RT is every bit as wild as our first release!  

This guitar will feature a Solid Ash Body topped with a Natural Rosewood Veneer. We'll use Roasted Maple for the neck, and its 21 medium-jumbo frets will be set into a Rosewood Fingerboard. The RT will sport the same custom single coil pickups as the Mad Cat, contributing to its unique "spank", as described by RJ Ronquillio. 

Sure, there are quite a few options out there already for something similar - cheap Chinese versions for $200 to high-end custom builds for $3,000+ to the originals that are in the $7,000 range. We've decided it's time to change things up a bit, and do it at an affordable price range. The result is a high-end, professionally playable instrument. IMPORTANT: These will be built in our top Korean factory - you will NOT be disappointed in the quality.
