Rikter Les Paul Guitar. Customized. Made In Korea

  

RIKTER Les Paul special HH flat top bolt-on neck made in Korea (SUNG-IL), modified. The guitar was probably manufactured between the late 80's - early 90's.

All the electronics in the guitar have been replaced. The pickups are hand made wound unpotted Humbuckers in vintage style with ceramic magnets. Pots has been replaced for 500k CTS audio taper. Switch has been replaced for vintage type switchcraft. Orange drop 0.22uf tone capacitor.

The lacquer on the neck has been completely removed and new clear polyurethane has applied for a better feel (like in the fender guitar). Inlay with custom logo on the headstock has been made and covered with gloss finish. Tuners have been thoroughly cleaned and oiled, rear gear covers have been removed for a vintage look. The guitar has a very comfortable narrow neck made of maple with a rosewood fingerboard.

As for body material, it's hard to tell. I've been using it mainly for playing at home for the last 2 years. The guitar was a project where I was trying to get the most authentic vintage tone possible.
