Guitar Giveaway: Ribbecke Halfling Guitar and Retro Channel RR1 Amplifier

http://bit.ly/pENc7o Ribbecke Halfling Guitar - Les Paul
We love guitar giveaways. We love amp giveaways. Putting them together is like eating a Reese’s Peanut Butter cup (chocolate & peanut butter… get it?).

Guitar World is serving up a huge peanut butter cup right now! Enter guitar giveaways to win a Ribbecke Guitar Co. Halfling (Les Paul) guitar worth $4,995 and a Retro Channel RR1 amp head worth $995.

This guitar utilizes technologies of the Testadura instruments from Toms private practice; in the anchoring of the bridge and tailpiece into a sub top Rosewood or Wenge block. It has the structure and rock stability at high volume of a true chambered electric. It has the bite and high-end crunch of a solid body but has the enhanced integrity and presence in the mids and bass of the Testadura hollow-body. The top and chambering is asymmetrical and if you tap on both sides of the bridge you will hear the octave separation of the chambers.

It features a 1 3/4" nut and a 25" scale with a carbon fiber reinforced neck and a two way adjustable truss rod. It has a laminated headstock, as in all Ribbecke products, and has a fit and joined neck. It has a top which is designed to be slightly microphonic. The percussive effect created from this top that truly defines its characteristic sound.

The chambered electric Halfling is built in a sandwich style with laminated sides. Pickups can be a combination of P90s or Humbuckers. Controls are non stack-pot style with tone and volume controls for each of the pickups with a standard three way selector switch. These can be ordered in stack-pot controls as well. The jack on the back is another innovative feature. The neck is a bit closer in shape to the traditional Les Paul guitars.
