SUPER VINTAGE
The Ultimate Gigging Guitar
5 in 1 Guitar
Welcome to the
HOLY GRAIL OF GUITARS
25 Years of research to create a truly Revolutionary guitar.
Handcrafted in the Philippines to Japanese Standards
The RJ SuperVintage™ is handcrafted by Japanese luthier Masayuki Takaesu in the Philippines to create guitars with second-to-none quality. Each guitar is created by human hands. The finest Philippine Mango woods are handpicked by our luthiers to achieve The RJ SuperVintage's superior tone.
Our guitars have soul.
Since 1988, I have been on a quest to find the Holy Grail of guitars, one guitar that can sound like 5 Guitars. I had gotten tired of having to shift from a Fender to a Gibson Guitar several times during a performance to fit the tone of the songs/tune I was playing.
I discovered the pick-ups had a lot to do with the tone. So I started using my own hand-wound pick-ups and experimenting with many kinds of magnets and magnet wires and different windings.
For some unexplainable reason, hand-wound pick-ups sound better than machine-wound. Some conjecture that handwinding creates an uneven spool which allows some air in between the magnet wires.
Through the years, I have perfected my hand-wound pick-ups to come close to the Holy Grail.
I also came up with a switching configuration that enables you to activate any of the 5 single coil pick-ups switching from humbucking to single and vice-versa at will and combining both.
RJ Guitars have been sold and accepted worldwide for 28 years. This is the first time I am marketing the Supervintage that is exactly the guitar I have been using all those years.
Try it and you will realize you will be holding 5 guitars in one.

"...here is an extremely well-though out design in terms of sound and construction, creating a guitar that plays really well... it's surprisingly characterful and versatile. We'd gig it at the drop of a hat."
