Ruokangas V.S.O.P. "I'm a big fan of vintage guitars. There's just something about them that you don't often feel in new instruments. The vintage magic grows from so many tiny little details - a complex mixture unreachable by modern mass production. That's what the VSOP Series is all about - we offer the player a strat style electric, built with the attitude and dedication that a professional quality musical instrument deserves to be built with." - Juha Ruokangas The V.S.O.P. comes in four flavors; the Standard, the Special, the King, and the Supreme. V.S.O.P. STANDARD:
A reliable workhorse that won't let you down under any circumstance. If you're into vintage, unassuming singlecoil vibe - added with true handmade character and modern comfort of use - this is your choice! Standard features: The basic version of the Standard is fitted with a calibrated set of 3 Ruokangas VS Classic or VS Blues pickups, chrome plated hardware and mint green pickguard. The neck comes with a rosewood fretboard and fast playing jumbo frets.
V.S.O.P. SPECIAL:
A calibrated set of two Dukebuckers drive the VSOP Special into another dimension of sound. The traditional bolt-on feel and playability combined with classic humbucker tone - the Special delivers the best of both worlds! Special features: The basic version of the Special differs from the Standard by pickups. The Special is fitted with a calibrated pair of Ruokangas Dukebuckers. Also Ruokangas SingleSonics can be mounted in without extra price.
V.S.O.P. KING:
The name says it all! Recommended for players who just can't get their tone big enough! The VSOP King delivers true singlecoil dynamics and classic in-between tones in a bigger, beefier package than ever! King features: The basic version of the King differs from the Standard by pickups. The King comes with a calibrated set of 3 Ruokangas SingleSonics, true P90 style singlecoil pickups despite the special looks.
V.S.O.P. SUPREME:
The Supreme takes the concept of 'S' type guitar to the extreme. The unique tonal combination of Arctic Birch and Spanish Cedar proves its superiority once again. The elegant drop top contour with striking walnut veneer sandwiched between the top and body lines out the bodyshape perfectly. Supreme features: The basic version of the Supreme comes with a matched set of Arctic Birch top, fretboard and pickguard. Other features include a calibrated set of Ruokangas SingleSonic pickups, and ThermoTreated maple neck. A tasteful selection of transparent colours available.
