STANDARD GUITAR FEATURES - Wood Built

ALL RUDDER GUITAR STANDARD FEATURES ON ALL WOOD BUILT GUITARS

Wood Guitar Bodies: (LoveMaker, JoyMaker and PeaceMaker)

1. Freedom Performance Circuit or F.P.C
Rudder Guitars have the F.P.C. to begin our quest for a guitar to create your new unique sounds.  We do this intentionally by matching up all of our electronics and hand soldering the components for the most versatile production of fresh new sounds with a new clarity. You can now produce multiple and even new types of music with their distinct sound to send into your pedals and amplifier. Everything looks clean on the top of your guitar because of our eliminating the need for micro and slide switches all over the guitar body.

2. Rudder Speed Sensitive Tone Neck or SST Neck
Rudder Guitar is always on the Quest for More Neck Speed, Reach and Comfort. This is an example of my dad’s ongoing inspiration that we are always searching for a better way and will incorporate it! It includes the following: The Friendly Handshake Grip Neck, 12 O Clock High Feature, Same Muscle Memory, spoke truss rod wheel and Extra Strength Set Neck.  

3. The Friendly Handshake Grip Neck:
The RG neck is a hybrid combining CNC and skilled luthiers working on the neck and fret board. The neck is finished with satin or gloss and polished for speed. The result is The Rudder Guitar Neck with a friendly and energized handshake you remember for life.    

4. 12 O Clock High Feature.
12 O’ Clock High Feature allows your hand to freely travel further down on the neck without making your hand and fingers crush together. Your fingers are relaxed above the 12th Fret giving you something new. Relaxing gives your fingers more strength to make string bends easier all the way to your last playable frets. Your finger speed is increased with more spacing between fingers causing less friction.

It is like driving in today’s comfortable performance cars.

In today’s comfortable performance cars, they make you unaware of your speed till the officer pulls you over for speeding. He asks you to hand him your flying license and you reply, “I did not realize my speed in this car!” Guitar players from all levels of playing ability who tested Rudder Guitars were amazed at their comfort and speed when playing their own unique songs and those iconic rifts above the 12th fret.   

5. Rudder Guitars Have the Same Muscle Memory.
All Wood Rudder Guitars have a 24.562 scale. You are able to play any model of Rudder Guitars or other 24.562 scale instrument with the same muscle memory. You can play the correct note or bar chord above the 12th fret faster with the same muscle memory accuracy on each guitar.


6. BR&A Spoke Truss Rod Wheel
The BR&A Spoke Truss Rod Wheel provides easy Dual Action Neck Adjustment. The Spoke Wheel is located at the base of the bolt on neck of the JoyMaker, JoyMaker Deluxe, and PeaceMaker.  The LoveMaker has the Dual Action Neck Adjustment nut on the base of head stock.

7. The BR&A Performance String Trees
The BR&A Performance String Trees have rollers. The rollers have Positive traction and floating action holding tune longer. 

8. JoyMaker and PeaceMaker Have Extra Strength 4 Bolt Necks.
Our 4-bolt neck pocket is cut deeper to allow for the 12’O Clock High neck reach. This makes for a larger neck pocket and therefore a stronger neck to body fit.

9. LoveMaker has Extra Strength Mortise and Tenon Neck. 
The Mortise and Tenon neck pocket is cut deeper to allow for the 12’O Clock High neck reach on the LoveMaker. This makes for a larger neck pocket and therefore stronger neck to body fit.
