And finally those guitars have started to appear in stores...
Official Rasmus website says;
…we decided to offer genuine USA made Suhr pickups, Japanese made Gotoh bridges and the same German made fret wires that we use on our Suhr instruments. Every Rasmus guitar will be Plek’d and set up by Suhr master builders before being shipped from the Suhr factory. Yes, we will disassemble each guitar, Plek the neck with our top of the line Plek Pro computerized fret-leveling machine and do the set up and QC check ourselves. You can be assured of superb playability due to the Plek process, excellent sound courtesy of the Suhr USA pickups, and reliable functionality offered by the same Gotoh bridges that we use on our own Suhr guitars
