Up for sale, a 2017 Ronin Foilbucker Type-S in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original G&G hardshell case. During Ronin’s roughly fourteen year run, the Eureka, CA-based builders established themselves as one of the premiere boutique brands in the industry. This Type-S boasts the same Foilbucker pickups as Ronin’s much-lauded Mirari model, with other premium features including the “Magic Button” circuit, MannMade vibrato, Hipshot tuners, and a lightly relic’d gloss Goldburst nitro lacquer finish.
Tonewoods include a swamp ash body, maple neck, and thick slab rosewood fretboard, and this Foilbucker Type S weighs 7lbs 12oz. At the heart of this guitar are the pair of oversized Foilbucker pickups: as the name would suggest, these pickups are designed to combine the clarity and sweetness of a Goldfoil with the warmth and openness of the best humbucker designs, smooth and punchy at the bridge and exceptionally broad at the neck. The unique circuit offers a remarkably diverse array of tonalities via the push-button Neck Coil Tap and Ronin’s “Magic Button,” which engages a passive piezo wafer installed in the bridge pickup cavity route. When activated, the piezo blends with the pickups for a notably vocal, natural sound, and a range of dobro, banjo, and sitar-inspired sounds can be achieved via the influence of the vibrato springs on the piezo’s signal. This Foilbucker Type-S has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

-Scale Length: 25 1/2”
-Nut: 1 11/16”, bone
-Tuners: Hipshot Classic (open-gear)
Body Specs:

Ronin’s relic process on the gloss Goldburst nitro lacquer finish includes “shattered glass” checking across the body and a handful of simulated dings, primarily concentrated along the perimeter. There is sparingly little wear beyond the factory aging, and the smooth gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
The original brown tolex G&G hardshell case is included.
