This is a beautiful Ruck in virtually new condition. Beautiful Cocobolo for the back and sides, and a fine Cedar soundboard. The guitar has Rodgers tuners, and Bob added an elevated fingerboard as well. The adjusting tool for the truss rod is also included with the hard shell case. Back and sides are lacquer with the top French Polished, my own personal favorite combination.

Concert level volume of course, not as loud as his double tops or some lattice braced guitars, but ample by any measure for the needs of most players. The tone is pure Ruck, elegant, refined, reminiscent of the fine Spanish builders, but undeniably Ruck. Expressive trebles and supportive basses provide a highly pleasing and richly balanced tone.

With Robert's list now closed, this is a fine opportunity to own a virtually new Ruck for thousands less than a new Ruck actually sells for.
