Ash body. Maple neck. Duncan-designed pickups.

The perfect marriage of balance, playability and sound. The solid Ash body is mated to a very fast, 22-fret Birds-Eye Maple neck with Deep Black Rosewood fretboard. Loaded with 3 Duncan-designed single-coil pickups with 5-way switch and Pearl pickguard, all Gold-plated hardware with a Gotoh string-thru-body hardtail with gold ferrules (for incredible attack and sustain) and Gotoh locking tuners.

Valley Arts Guitars established a worldwide reputation for designing and building incredible custom guitars for some of the best jazz, country, and rock guitarists. Based in Los Angeles, and very near Samick's USA headquarters, the 2 companies decided to create an exclusive line of guitars with all the design specifications, materials, and build quality parameters detailed by the luthiers at Valley Arts and built by Samick's best guitar craftsmen. The result was an extraordinary selection of guitars that play and feel like custom-made instruments. You will find models with Birds-Eye Maple necks, solid sculpted bodies with natural wood tops, Floyd Rose and Wilkinson tremolos, Duncan pickups, and Grover and Gotoh tuners and tails. Only the best woods and materials were used and the build specification and setup tolerances on these guitars make them very special instruments.

I played my Rangercaster for years. I'm a guitar collector and I got 13 guitars.Rangercaster is one of my best guitar and till today I can't found a better guitar with lower price.

Sound
Some might think this is a copy of Fender Telecaster,but they are wrong. The scale of Rangercaster is unique,it don't feel like Telecaster or even Stratocaster,and the sound is unique too. The Duncan Designed pickup deliver the tone of the ash wood body well.The fast,thin bird eyes maple neck is not only comfortable,but it look really nice and make this guitar a boutique. Try a expensive Single coil guitar like USA Fender,you will believe how good this guitar is. I own a Vintage Fender Telecaster,it sound slightly better than the Rangercaster,but I pay more than 5 times for it.I tried nowadays Fender Deluxe,Standard Stratocaster(s),but non of them better than the Samick(my Rangersaster).
