RS Guitarworks is a high-end guitar/bass brand produced in Kentucky, USA.
In particular, they have a reputation for vintage style instruments.
This is a 5-string jazz bass type modeled after a vintage Fender.
The body is standard Alder and the neck is Maple.
The fingerboard uses Katalox.
Since it is an ebony species, it is characterized by its hardness.
They say it has a texture similar to the Brazilian rosewood used in vintage Fenders.
The pickup seems to be a custom made Lindy Fralin.
The bridge and tuning machine are made by Hipshot.
It has a powerful sound typical of the JB type, but also a slightly tighter, easier-to-handle, organized feel.
If you are looking for a genuinely good 5-string passive type, this is one of the brands you should try first.
Approximately 90% of the frets remain.
The truss rod works well.
The condition of the neck is showing signs of being too high, but it can be played without any problems by adjusting it to 2.0~2.8mm on 12F, which is our standard. You can see burrs on the frets. It's not so bad that you can't play, but you may injure your hands if you slide it.
As this is a relic model, the condition of the body and painted surface is that there are dents and small scratches throughout. There are no obvious scratches or dents that appear to be new.
The electrical system is in good condition.
No obvious modification points were found.
