TMG Guitar Company Ronnie Scott in Dakota Red - Rosewood Roasted Neck w/Hardshell Case
Meet the Ronnie Scott.
The Ronnie Scott is the offset solid body creation that was made famous by the California surf bands of the 1960’s. Originally designed for jazz musicians, the warmer tone of this instrument created a sound sensation when it was paired with clean amps and a generous amount of spring reverb. This guitar has made a comeback among guitarist searching for thicker tones to compliment their bright British amps. Our standard model features a traditional lightweight ash body, 3-way pickup selector, two hand wound P90 pickups, and a rosewood fretboard.
Expectations met.
The Ronnie Scott boasts an offset waist contour body, that is meant to provide a better balance and comfort. We offer a Callaham hardtail, Bigsby b5 or Mastery Tremolo system to match the more comfortable ergonomics. Like all offset guitars should be, we keep it real with Alder or Swamp Ash bodies available as solid or semi-hollow.
Made for your hand only.
Vintage style Kluson tuners, your choice of Rosewood or maple fretboards, and our "vintage worn" finish you have to try to believe. You’ll feel like you’ve owned it your entire life. Other options include Brazilian Rosewood Slab Board, 5A Flame Maple, 5A Birdseye, and Quarter-sawn Maple.
The vintage touch.
Every TMG guitar is built with the highest standards any guitar has ever had. We’ve teamed with with companies like Emerson Custom, Kluson, Callaham and Mastery bridge to make sure that our guitars play and feel the way it should.
Find the tone you've been chasing.
All Ronnie Scott’s’s come stock with our “TMG P90” pickups. We consider them the best combination of the sweet single coil tones, high output, and the right amount of bite you’d expect from these kinds of pickups. Made only with the best NOS materials and winded for one of the best single coil experiences you could only dream of. Other options include our custom TMG P90’s, “Tron” style pickups from TV Jones, or our special TMG PAF’s.
We believe that something with this type of detail can’t be done by a hi-tech robot. Real American quality was based on people making things for other people. For every guitar that comes out of our shop, we strive to make sure that they all have that human touch. We employ real craftsmen who can make decisions based on real standards, who can admire the art and decide to keep whats working, and then patiently wait till it's perfected.
Nitrocellulose Paint's History
The history of nitrocellulose paint is closely related to the automobile industry of the 1950’s. At the time the big car builders in Detroit had a huge hold of the industry using beautiful finishes that were highly marketed at the time. All the cars of the time used nitrocellulose paint, it was the best combination of pigment, binder (also known as resin), and solvent. The only color that were typically made in house by the guitar manufactures of the time were Sunburst and Blond. The rest of the custom colors had been inspired by what everyone was was raving about, cars. Nitrocellulose dries fast, looked great, could be rubbed-out to remove minor scratches and dullness, and it spot repairs easy. This made it a natural choice for cars. For guitars, it proved to be a just as important due to its ease of use. The way it binds to the woods has also proven to promote the wood’s natural resonance, and not deprive it of the essential vibrations that have to occur between the body and the strings. Not only have we decided to bring this tradition of custom paint colors, we also have faithfully adopted the techniques of the time to bring a guitar that not only looks stunning, but also carries the spirit of the age when it was 1st conceived.
