Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built as a limited Abbey Road collaboration, the RS201 Studiomatic is a fully hollow Gretsch with a laminated maple body, custom Filter'Tron pickups and an unusually detailed control layout. Each pickup has its own tone control and push/pull Rumble Filter activation, while the three-way switch handles pickup selection. The Bigsby B60 adds vibrato control, and locking tuners simplify string changes. Its Classic Walnut Stain, gold hardware and Abbey Road head badge give the instrument a distinctly appointed finish.
