After the famous thread of our friend Puma, now it’s time to get serious.
This is my new Lotus #9. Ordered in the late 2020 finally on my hands. For those unfamiliar with it, Rusti Guitars is a small shop based in Italy that has been producing fine hand made instruments. Claudio Rustignoli is the man behind the brand and according to my experience I consider him a great professional, extremely helpful and meticulous.
The guitar features:
PME top
Black limba body
PME neck
Ebony fretboard
Hantug fixed headless bridge
Bkp polymath
Fanned frets
Stainless steel jumbo frets with spherical frets ends
Satin finish
This is my second Rusti ( I also own a koa paradox, rusti superstrat model)
The pale moon top is simply breathtaking and the one piece neck too. The guitar is extremely well made (same build quality I was used to) and the fretwork is phenomenal. The spherical fretends is very comfortable and standard on all his model. It is something that we don’t seevery often.
I was afraid the guitar was slightly unbalanced due to the pme neck. I was wrong. The guitar is very light and balanced.
The PME neck is lighter than I expected and it gives great attack. The shape is the same of my Paradox so I feel very comfortable.
initially the pickups choice leaned towards silo. finally I decided to go with polymath and I not regret the choice.
big and aggressive sound perfect for modern and high gain sound. I Love the cover too, I think they match perfectly with the ebony top!
The satin finish is perfect, maybe a little shiny on the neck and fretboard!
