RR Project Info

You can go the the RR Project website to see all that is going on with the project.
http://www.rmolsonguitars.com/rr.html

Below is some basic info:

Specs

* Vintage white/ TV white paint (almost a cream color)
* black pick guard and pickup rings
* Front and Back Ivory Binding
* Truss rod plate that says "RR"... I can have it imprinted.
* I would perfer the words Rock & Roll as a Headstock logo that would go hand in hand with th RR on the truss rod cover. Any other suggestions are welcome.
* Gold Hardware
* Gold Gibson style tulip tuners
* Yellow/Gold Top Hat Knobs
* Ebony fret board w/jumbo frets
* Block Fretboard inlays
* brass pickup selector switch plate. - I was originally told we should be able to get this made and imprinted now that is not happening.
I will have to find some suitable brass washers and try to get
a spray mold made for the lettering
* I will use the Entwistle HV 58 pickups - They are almost identical to the sh-PG1. Entwistle Pickups
o neck 7.0kohm
o bridge 7.6kohm
* Ivory binding on fretboard
* multilayer binding on Gibson headstock.

The Color
I can't make it look old but we will try to match the color.
I have seen some copies that have a slight yellow look.
When I compare the pic that has been sent to me with the original guitar it looks
like a pretty close match.

Pricing
In the past, my customers have always paid in full before
production began but I am willing to go with a deposit of $200.00
As I have said on the Agile forum, I'm will go a step further and lower the price
to $400.00 if at least 5 orders are made at the same time but all
these extra little details are cutting into what little I will be able
to make out of this.

Shipping
The customer will have to pay for shipping,
it generally averages out to about $30.00.
I ship to USA addresses by UPS Insured.
I send the guitar in a R M Olson gigbag
Then I double box and wrap the inner box with a large bubble wrap. Even shipping around the world, I have never had a damaged guitar.

Contact & Deposit Info
Everyone who wants one needs to email me at ro@artelco.com
Be sure to put RR Project in the subject line!
Also include your physical address with the email and what hand guitar you want.

That email address is also the PayPal payment address.
When sending the $200.00 deposit via PayPal send it as a personal payment
so I don't have to pay a fee on these.
Or if you want, let me know and you can send me a postal money order.

You can order one of these at anytime. It will be made custom for you if there are no more in stock. Estimated production time is approximately 60 days
depending on holidays and other circumstances.

Re: RR Project Info

I'm glad to be one of the lucky few who is in the first batch for this guitar. I can't wait.

Robert - when those brass selector surrounds come in post some pics here or in the 'guitars for real muscians' forum. Can't wait to see what they look like.
