From the listing
This is the Old Friend Slab Work Horse Big Block from RS Guitar Works. Every guitar is a one-off, handcrafted in Winchester, USA, by RS Guitar Works—this particular model is based on a concept guitar acquired in the 1950s and modified in various ways.It features a northern ash body, a 1963 C-shaped maple neck with a 7.25R radius, 6105 frets, a long scale with a 41.3mm nut, and is equipped with an RS-custom LINDY FRALIN Big Block pickup. It also features a 3-way bridge and a stunning “Road Killed” relic finish. Although it has only one pickup on the bridge side, it features a 4-way selector switch and a “Sweet” switch (preset tone), boasting a wide variety of sounds: 4. Full humbucker / 3. Humbucker in parallel / 2. Slug-coil single-coil / 1. Screw-coil single-coil (the volume on the 1st string drops significantly, but this is a characteristic of the model). The guitar is in good condition; aside from the “Road Killed” relic aging finish—which replicates natural aging—no obvious damage that appears to be from later modifications can be identified. It was set up upon arrival (cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, and action adjustment). The frets are at a height suitable for playing, and the truss rod can be adjusted in both directions; operation has been confirmed up to ±60°. Condition Grade: B+: Some minor scratches, but no issues for normal use Serial Number: RS1219-5 Country of Manufacture: USA Case: Hard Case Included Accessories: Certificate of Authenticity, Spec Sheet, Instruction Manual Weight: 3.51 kg Truss Rod: No issues; rod movement tested up to 60 degrees in both directions with no problems Remaining Fret Life: Within normal range; fret height is sufficient for playing String Height (Low String Side): 2.0 mm at the 12th fret String action (treble side): 1.5 mm at the 12th fret Nut width: 41.3 mm Neck Shape: 63 C Scale: 648 mm (25.5") RADIUS: 184 mm (7.25") Strings at Setup: ERNIE BALL 2221 / .010-.046 se
