This is a special one-off, one of a kind Ronin Betty featuring three Foil Bucker Mini pickups. The color on top is Caddy Green. It is bound in grained ivoroid around the top perimeter only. The back of the guitar has been left natural, so that you can see the beautiful grain and dark brown hue of the Old Growth Redwood body. 

In the bridge position you can get a beautiful full Tele-like tone that sounds more like a fat single-coil than a humbucker. The tonality is rich and full played clean, yet the guitar becomes even more expressive when used with a dirt pedal or cranked tube amp. The volume knob with mil-spec capacitor and treble-bleed circuit cleans up extremely well when dialed back, retaining the full bandwidth and EQ range of the high-fidelity proprietary Ronin pickups. The neck Foil-Bucker Mini is nothing short of breathtaking. It's like a rich and airy vintage Gold-Foil mixed with a Mini Humbucker. It also has a wide tonal range, with perfect note to note separation and a thick yet airy tone with tons of sonic information, incased inside it's beautiful powder coated white metal cover. The 3-way blade switch allows this guitar to be used like a standard Tele (Neck ,Neck + Bridge, Bridge) With the mini button you can access the middle pickup. Now you can get neck & Middle, All 3 Pickups at once and the bridge + middle position. 

We just love the aged relic finish on this Betty. The bound Caddy Green Nitro finished top has looks to kill especially seen in person and the back is just gorgeous in all its natural glory. The guitar plays impeccably with a low 3 & 4 64ths action E to E at the 12th fret. The vibrato on this guitar is very responsive due to the way it is setup with only two springs. Lastly you'll notice the beautiful flame maple neck. This guitar has been my main axe for the past year and I would have thought the profile was just a standard Fat C without looking at the COA, however it is slightly asymmetrical; meaning the bass side is slightly thicker than the treble side, so that the guitar's neck fits right into the natural curves of the palm of your hand. Do not fear the word "asymmetrical". Many vintage Fender necks were of this carve, as they were carved by hand and by eye back then; just as Ronin's are now.  
The Golden Tea Cup knobs are in the case and have been replaced with high-end Glendale Domed Tele knobs, which sell for $50 a set brand new. The guitar's blade switch is also adorned with a metal Glendale switch tip.
