RusLer U12 For Sale

John Horton · Post by **John Horton** » 7 Nov 2020 9:06 am

I purchased this beautiful guitar in 2017 as my first PSG. Life has changed and now I must sell. It is a universal 12 professionally setup as an E9 w/ extended low end by Jim @ North County in Oceanside,CA. It has been in the case for too long and deserves to be played.
I am asking $1,650 plus shipping

Who built these guitars?

Fred Justice · Post by **Fred Justice** » 8 Nov 2020 6:50 am

Sonny, a man named Russ Russell built them here in Phoenix Arizona.
Russ had worked for ZB at one time.
The undercarriage is much like an older MSA.
They are a well built guitar with lots of tone. I played a Rus~Ler SD for 19 years and still have Ole Blue.

Thank you Fred for the info for Sonny. Iâ€™m new here and trying to figure my way to respond. James it has 5 levers. Sad to say l am a beginner and couldnâ€™t play worth a darn. I did have a friend who is a player take it for a test run and it did some great.

Hello John,

Any idea how much the guitar weighs?

Thank you

That is a beautiful guitar.
For what it's worth, here is an informative thread about Ruslers.

Why in the world is this not sold yet? Don't you know a bargain when you see it? I should buy it just to re-sell it. Thanks, Tommy.....

Is the front "apron" a metal frame with wood insert or actual wood? Reason I ask is because I owned a 12 string RusLer just like that in the late 70's. Wondering if it could be that guitar....
