I had a Ruokangas......these are a stunning quality instrument and just superb to play .They are truly special .
The shame is that the name is not so well known as Anderson/ Huber etc but amongst Cognoscenti it certainly is.

Thank you for your kind comments Dominic.  I’ve owned all three (Ruokangas, Huber, Anderson) and all are superb but, for me, the Ruokangas  edges it with superior refined appointments.

Bump and keen to entertain offers for a US strat with rosewood fretboard, plus cash my way.

I’m only selling to see if I can buy DrCornelius’ ‘79 strat.  The Ruokangas is the finest strat I’ve ever owned but I do like a late 70s strat.  Mad I know.

Big price drop to see if I can buy DrC’s’ strat.  When it’s gone it’s gone

This should have sold ages ago, not my cup of tea but a beautiful guitar indeed.

Thank you @prudd.  It is a fabulous guitar but I have a hankering for a 79 strat even though this is far superior and need the funds!

This is no help, I know, but, if I were a strat guy, I'd be on this. I have its brother the Mojo Classic and its a beast, so I have no doubt that this would be similarly amazing. My strat cravings, rare as they are, are assuaged by my Eric Johnson sig, which comes out from time to time. GLWTS though, and if I didn't have a solid strat I'd be hitting you up.

Thank you @bermudianbrit.  It is a very very fine strat type guitar.  You’d struggle to find a better build

Up!

Couldn’t resist getting three amazing strats in a row bump (Tom Anderson, SVL, Ruokangas)
