Robert Ruck Flamenco

Here’s a cool guitar – apparently the story is that Robert Ruck owned a Marcelo Barbero that for some reason he had to sell, so he decided to make himself a copy, and this is that guitar. I had never played a Ruck, so I didn’t have any expectations one way or the other, but I kind of love this guitar. It’s got a lot of that old world charm, but it’s deep and punchy and it records like a dream. Here’s me noodling in the Rondeña tuning (D A E F# B E).
