A few weeks ago I got to take this beautiful Ronin Stormcrow out for a spin. It's a great variation on the Ronin DNA...what I would describe as a more mid-focused "rocking" kind of sound (and aesthetic). Dig this fuzzy little performance clip.

It's a great variation on the Ronin DNA...what I would describe as a more mid-focused "rocking" kind of sound (and aesthetic). That being said, there's still tons of resonance, depth, and vibe as I've come to expect from everything Ronin does.

One of Belgiums top session guitarists Tom Lowedyckx layering some tracks with his Ronin Stormcrow Serial #1

“The Ronin Stormcrow is much more versatile than I first expected. At the same time it’s very uniquely rich sounding. There is no other guitar that I know of, that combines these two qualities. Plus, it’s the most kick-ass looking thing I’ve ever seen!”
— Tom Lodewyckx - Belgium Session Guitarist

Reviews

David Hunter - Guitar & Bass Magazine UK

“"These pickups yield great clarity and crispness, yet with a thickness and body that you don’t usually associate with ‘clear, crisp’ humbuckers. That, and they deliver the elusive combination of edgy attack and toothsome compression that has won so many fans for the original 60s single-coil gold foils. Through clean settings, they deliver equally luscious jazz or country moods, both with a certain high fidelity that should not be equated with ‘cold’ or ‘sterile’. Give them some overdrive, though – whether by cranking either of the amps or adding, for example, an Xotic BB Preamp to the chain – and they gush a raw, gnarly and utterly enjoyable voice that’s beautifully at home with alt rock and grunge-blues alike. Fuzz? Oh yeah, they are utterly hairy yet never entirely out of control through a Blackout Effectors Musket in ways that few traditional pickup designs can manage – and right at home in more ambient noisescape excursions."
