Not sure if you've seen this thread already or not but there's a Rudy for sale in Chicago:

viewtopic.php?t=14631

This one is technically a 4/4 but since Rudy's sizing skews on the large side, I'd consider it closer to most makers' definition of 5/4.

I personally know this seller and can vouch for them, for the record.

I've owned both a PT-6 and a Rudy 4/4 in the past. Totally different sizes and experiences. Both very nice instruments though.

Thank you for the lead! I just messaged the seller earlier to get more info. Hoping to hear back soon.

I went to check out that Rudi in Illinois. I know it’s classified as a 4/4 but it was rather big and it definitely sounds like it. So I’m now the happy owner of a Rudi! Trying to figure out how to post pics on here so I’ll show it off soon. Also came with a Unitec hard case and a Altieri gig bag so I’m super happy about the deal.
