| Comments | Today we’re visited by a lovely Ron Belanger dreadnought guitar in Bubinga. Ron Belanger works in the area of Orillia, Ontario, where he’s been a woodworker for many years. In 1998 he started building guitars, and in addition to the instrument pictured here, builds Irish Bouzoukis, resophonic guitars, and 12-strings.
This example from 2004 is in good condition with minor wear. It’s clearly been played, as it has opened up to a full, rich tone that sparkles through the midrange and high end, with not too much bass. |
| Serial Number | N/A, signed by Ron Belanger as model RB-D-1 Bubinga and dated 2004. Built in Orillia, Ontario. |
| Pricing | $1,500.00 with Tric case. No Longer Available. |
| Neck | Mahogany neck with unbound ebony fingerboard. The neck uses a tenon and two bolt system, so in the event a neck reset becomes necessary (and this is pretty much of any steel string guitar of a certain age) the task will be straightforward. |

| Body | Dreadnought design body with Spruce top and Bubinga back and sides. Curly maple binding with herringbone purfling and rosette. Ebony bridge. |
| Finish | Gloss lacquer finish in good condition. |
