Here for sale we have a Fender TLR-135RK Ritchie Kotzen Electric Guitar in Brown Sunburst finish. Made in Japan between 2002-2004, this guitar features an Ash body with a Flame Maple cap, a Maple neck, and a 22-fret Maple fingerboard. Other appointments include Gold hardware, Gold Gotoh tuners, mother of pearl inlays, a DiMarzio Chopper T pickup in the bridge position, and a DiMarzio Twang King single coil in the bridge position. These pickups are wired to a master volume, master tone, and a three-way pickup selector.
The Maple neck plays well, with the ‘U’ profile feeling comfortable in the hand and offering comfortable playability in all registers. The Maple fingerboard provides a durable playing surface, and with its 12" radius strikes a nice balance between easy chord playing and practicality for lead lines and string bending. The familiar lines of the Telecaster body feel as great in the arms as ever with the added enhancement of the body contours, and provide a comfortable playing experience in both standing or seated positions.
The pair of DiMarzio pickups provide a rich variety of tonal options. The Twang King Single Coil in the neck position is warm and round, and offers crystal clarity with clean sounds. The Chopper T in the bridge position is bright and snappy, with plenty of the bite required for rock lead tones, offering a harmonically saturated distortion that easily cuts through the mix. Lows are thick and well defined, whilst mids are punchy and clear. The brightness of the bridge pickup is well suited to rock riffs and rhythm parts, whilst the neck position provides plenty of power for your lead lines and solos.
