Rare Rusti Paradox 7 String Custom | Italian Handmade Korina / Quilted Maple / BKP Ragnarok

Now available from Beyond Tone Instruments is this Rusti Paradox 7 string custom, handmade in Italy by master luthier Claudio Rustignoli.

This is a serious boutique extended range build with a look that feels stealthy, modern & unmistakably custom. The satin black top, natural korina body, forged carbon fiber binding & master grade quilted maple fretboard give the guitar a refined but aggressive presence.

Rusti guitars have a very distinct identity. They do not feel like factory instruments with upgraded specs. They feel sculpted, intentional & deeply personal. This Paradox is a perfect example of Claudio’s eye for detail, material contrast & modern Italian design.

The spec is high end throughout, featuring a korina body, maple top, 5 piece flame maple / carbon fiber neck, ebony headstock back cover with hidden scarf joint, 20" radius quilted maple fretboard & Bare Knuckle Ragnarok pickups with matching wooden covers.

The Ragnarok set gives this guitar a tight, aggressive, articulate voice while still keeping everything clear & controlled. It is built for modern metal, progressive styles & heavy extended range playing, but the craftsmanship keeps it feeling boutique rather than sterile.

What makes this piece even more compelling is scarcity. Claudio is not currently taking new orders, making existing Rusti builds increasingly difficult to source, especially one with this level of execution & visual presence.
