Personal Thoughts
This is a really cool boutique take on the T-style idea, but it is much more inventive than a straight copy. The Mojo King spec is clever because it blends familiar ingredients like an alder body, maple neck and 25.5" scale with some much more unusual Ruokangas touches, especially the figured birch board and that very smart custom wiring. The S-S-S layout might look traditional at first glance, but the extra toggle gives the in-between positions a series option, which is a big part of why these cover so much ground. I also like the Gotoh/Wilkinson trem with the steel “Twang Ring” concept on the bridge pickup side of the design, because it shows this was built to keep attack and snap without losing versatility. The Candy Apple Orange finish suits it perfectly too — bold, boutique, and a bit different without becoming over the top.
