HopeMaker Delta 6

The Future Starts Here.

The HopeMaker Delta 6 represents Rudder Guitars' pursuit of innovation without compromise. Combining a precision-machined clear Lucite body with a proprietary aluminum neck, the Delta 6 delivers exceptional stability, remarkable sustain, and a playing experience designed to inspire creativity for years to come.

Powered by the exclusive Freedom Performance Circuit™, every HopeMaker Delta 6 offers exceptional clarity, dynamic response, and remarkable tonal flexibility. Its advanced construction provides consistent performance across changing environments while delivering the distinctive visual presence that makes the HopeMaker instantly recognizable.

Built in North Carolina and backed by a Lifetime Warranty on both the body and neck, the HopeMaker Delta 6 is designed for musicians who believe the future of guitar design should be as inspiring as the music it creates.

The neck has 22 Frets with a 25.5” scale. It includes the 12’O Clock High feature to make playing above 12th fret to 22nd easier and makes iconic riffs faster.  

The neck is extremely playable beginning with the 1.75" nut width with a thickness of 0.80" at the nut tapered not only on the sides, but the full back of neck all the way to the heel at 2.20" width with a thickness of 0.95" at the 22nd fret.

The HopeMaker Lucite Body feature over Wood adds the elusive midrange tones that wood lacks for more punch. Much more resonant than wood. Lucite is a very consistent material and much more stable than wood. Previous generation Lucite bodies have been known to be extremely heavy. Ours are milled to be lightweight and ultra-resonant.

HopeMaker Lucite and aluminum exclusive features are much more sustainable than wood, and recyclable. 70% of aluminum is made from recycled material, much less energy to produce. Lucite is also recyclable. All of the excess material is recycled. No trees were damaged in the making of the Hopemaker model! 

The Neck features a inline 6 headstock with Black Locking Sperzel Tuners that is well suited for tremolo use. With our composite fretboard comes lightweight and unparalleled tuning stability. Paired with our 6061 T6 aluminum neck you get all of that aluminum tone and resonance without any weight. The cross section is a proprietary feature of our necks.
