Is it a Les Paul Junior? Is it a Telecaster?
When you’ve watched any of the pedal demos on this web site in 2023 you’ve positively seen this guitar. Whereas it’s not one I can or need to formally overview, it’s one I need to speak about. This guitar is made by my buddy Ron from RWM Guitars, primarily based close by in Connecticut. It’s additionally sort of an amalgamation of all my favourite issues. It’s Fender, Gibson, it’s recycled wooden, it’s obtained a P90, it’s mild as hell.
It additionally doesn’t actually have a reputation. I simply cycle between calling it a Tele Jr, or a Tele DC Jr. But it surely’s obtained fairly the story, being constituted of reclaimed Pine Wooden with an extremely skinny physique that’s the distinctive Tele double reduce form (nearly like an Epiphone Coronet).
It additionally has a GFS Dream P90 pickup in it, and a really skinny/quick Maple neck that’s Fender scale however nearly shred-like in form. Lastly, something that’s surf or seafoam inexperienced will get numerous love from me, like the brand new DeLonge Strat I reviewed. So naturally I fell in love with this Fender meets Les Paul Junior creation.

RWM makes tremendous cool guitars and they’re much more reasonably priced than most “boutique” small manufacturers. They’re additionally fairly simply customizable and comparatively easy builds, largely Fender-inspired stuff which you can tweak to your liking. They aren’t attempting to be one of the best luthier on the East Coast, nor are they attempting to revolutionize guitar for the twenty first century. As a substitute, the main focus is on making enjoyable guitars for gamers that received’t value you $2000.
This isn’t a overview, or a paid submit. I do work loads with Ron and he gave me this guitar to make use of for Guitars For Idiots’ pedal demos in 2023 (for the sake of transparency). Nonetheless, I simply needed to level out that not each personalized guitar or boutique model goes to value you a number of hundreds of {dollars}. And in the event you didn’t see the quirky, distinctive Fender guitar you needed to see come out within the Paranormal Collection or Alternate Actuality Collection, right here’s a approach you may carry one to life comparatively simply!
I actually dig this guitar and shall be 1000% utilizing it going ahead. It’s one of the crucial comfy and best gamers on my rack, and I do know numerous different RWM followers would agree Ron’s on to one thing cool in CT!
