we get the nicest emails: Hello, I got my Rossa Corsa RKS Wave at the beginning of the year and I love it. Great Design, Great Tone, absolutely incredible. I was persuaded to get it after seeing Dave Mason at The Bottleneck Blues Bar. I've included some pictures of me using it with my band "snowangeldust". www.myspace.com/snowangeldust Thanks, Karl Dodson, snowangeldust

Greetings RKS family!

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 08:08:24 -0800

Greetings, I have very exciting news to share with you, my ever expanding family. I received my new RKS A Bass about a week ago. And my heart was racing before I opened the box. It was like seeing Medusa in person "As I was stone in the funk". I almost lost it folks! The body color is "Indigo blue" with the natural maple; rose and alder perfectly match all around. BAM! RKS also inlayed my signature on the fret board with Abalone. I was told that it's the first one they've done. I feel very special with my very sexy A-Bass! My new bass plays and sound "WiCked" SiCk! I've also discovered that by setting the bass graphic or parametric EQ on the amp and treble, mid, and bass also flat. Then with all my controls wide open on the bass, it's PHAT with rock solid presence. Pictures of my new bass coming soon to a blog near you! The fine pixies at RKS have done it once again...cheers! Love and respect, Courtney Audain

Lucas rocks!

Test Drive Results Are In for My New RKS!

Acquired a new RKS Natural Redhead Solidbody about a month ago as a changeup from my other axe, a 1959 Reissue Les Paul Custom. I am thrilled with the quality of the RKS - construction, aesthetics, ergonomics, electronics and, most of all, its sound!

With A Vengeance

You know, here at RKS, we're guitar people, so of course we were stoked to hear about that car company giving away guitars that play through the car speakers -- it's just a cool thing to do. A zippy little car & a cute matching guitar, what could be cooler? A one-off Vengeance Custom motorcycle and a matching RKS? (click for larger image!) yeah. and if you think this is cool? Wait 'till you see what's next.

Greetings RKS family I'm back from Japan!

Thu, 19 Oct 2006 22:52:01 -0800

Yes peeps, much respect to the RKS family. I am back from my trip to Japan with Cyril Neville and Tribe 13. I actually got back about a week ago and had to pack and leave again for the weekend. After flying 11 hours on the return trip, I drove 9 hours to our gig. I needed sometime to get over my jet lag. So, what about my Japan trip?...all I can say is that is was the bomb folks! This featival was done by email only for about one year. No press, no flyers radio or TV. And they had about 5000 people the first night and about 7500 the second night. The sound and lighting was top knoch. Once our music hit those people, they had the police busy trying their best to keep the people at bay and from rushing the stage. Japanese audiance can get alittle crazy. And the Japanese musician were going crazy over our RKS guitars and tones. After we performed some of the Japanese musicians got a chance to play the guitars and they were absolutly blown away by the sound, feel and confort of the body style. Since I've been back home, I am back in production mode again at my recording studio Coinhead, where I am currently producing 3 different projects and they're all fun fun fun baby! And I am also busy showing my awesome guitars around Austin and where ever I am performing. Got to get some sleep naaaaaaaaah! I'm working on some footage captured during my trip in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka Japan. Coming soon to my blog soon...so stay tuned to Courtney's Blog! RKS Guitars GET! PS. Again if you don't have RKS in your choice of excellent guitar tones and craftsmanship, you should! It's worlds apart from the others and without ripping off someone elses design! RKS is all that and more... Peace, CA

Mike's fans do love him, and this helped convince us to go ahead and send him a Ruby -- for those of you in the Rochester area, this means you will be seeing your favorite guitar player with his new guitar very soon!

We ran into Uncle Plum (well, Mike Gladstone, of Uncle Plum) up at MIAC -- and Uncle Mike seemed to take a liking to the Ruby Red:
