Ruokangas Unicorn - Billy Penn 300guitars.com

I got to play the #1 Unicorn guitar at NAMM 2010. This guitar was hand-built by Juha Ruokangas. Juha is a super guy and an awesome builder. The Unicorn played like a dream and had "that" sound. Super comfortable and balances perfectly on your leg unlike a LP. This particular guitar is Juha's personal instrument and was featured in his youtube video series he did documenting the entire build process. I am a HUGE Ruokangas fan and this guitar is the shizz!!!

I played the Unicorn through a Mad Professor amp which excellent as well! Only at NAMM....!!! http://www.300guitars.com/

i've come to realize that the gear is just a vessel and your hands is what makes all the guitars you play sound it's best. great finger pickin Billy

Thanks a lot!!! I mostly believe what you say because I have heard great players on mediocre gear that sounded fantastic. But a great guitar makes it easier to play and inspires you to play even better. Juha's guitars are unreal and he is a top notch, first class human being imo. He spent almost an hour with me the next day. I have an interview that I will post soon. Thanks again!!!! -Billy

Great playing as usual, and what a wonderful tone. Just the right amount of sprank and warmth.

I came to your channel for the guitar tips and stayed for the guitar playing, especially in the NAMM clips.

Best of luck to you.

Thank you very much! I have a bunch more NAMM clips I will be posting. I'm trying to catch up on all the emails and everything. -Billy

Wonderful guitar and playing as well! I am lucky enough to live in Finland - I went to Juha's shop to check this #1 and immediately ordered one which I got just before Christmas.

Please feel free to check my take on the "vintage Unicorn sounds" in the Unicorn demo on my channel.
