Riggio Tango by Joe Riggio Custom Guitars hand made in the USA

Description

Here is my Joe Riggio Tango Tele in blonde.

A very rare, hand made in the USA guitar by Joe Riggio in 2020. The guitar is in very good condition and comes with its original hard case and paperwork.

I will be able to pack and post for £25 in the UK using PArcelForce 48.
Happy for you to come and try the guitar.

About this guitar:
Joe Riggio guitars are of the highest quality, with each model hand-built to perfection. This one has Joe's light relic treatment, so it looks like it's been played over the years! The lacquer checking is beautiful—Joe is renowned for his aging techniques.

It also has proprietary neck carves (mapped on a CNC from actual vintage examples). The maple neck has a '63 C” neck profile carve, medium depth at the nut, full shoulders in every register, and lightly rolled fretboard edges. It is smooth in the hand and perfectly intonated up the neck. The rosewood fretboard has a very nice patina.

The guitar comes with a set of Joe's “Route ’66” single coil pick-ups and a Riggio Humbucker. The Humbucker is currently installed in the neck position, the neck single coil is in the case. There is also a matched, aged scratch plate for the single coil set-up in the case. The Riggio's hand-wound single coil pickups offers traditional Tele cut, with a gutsy, chewy twang in the bridge position and silky, round neck pickup sound. Riggio's HumBucker neck pick-up is awesome, giving Keith type tones a plenty, cutting through mixes and adding that something special to the overall sounds.
