An Iconic Gretsch × Abbey Road Collaboration

This limited edition celebrates the heritage of legendary recordings by translating it into a modern, reliable instrument ready for both stage and demanding recording sessions.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
Ideal for
intermediate to expert guitarists, the RS201 excels in
rock,
jazz,
indie,
blues, and
alternative pop. The 24.6" / 625 mm scale length facilitates bends and vibrato, while the ebony fingerboard offers precise attack for clean arpeggios, punchy riffs, and dynamic open chords.
The Sound
The
Custom Filter?Tron pickups deliver tight lows, present mids, and bright highs without harshness. The
Rumble Filter (push/pull on each tone control + 2-position selector) refines frequency response for drier, scooped, or fuller textures depending on the mix. The
3-position selector enables easy tonal shifts, while the
Adjusto-Matic / Bigsby B60 combo provides sustain, tuning stability, and expressiveness. The maple hollow body, supported by
tone bars, combines acoustic openness with effective feedback control on stage.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The custom hard case is included. For maintenance and performance, choose
nickel .010?.046 strings (factory set), a comfortable
2" leather strap, a
curved electric guitar capo, a quality
straight or angled instrument cable, and a
microfiber cloth to preserve the gloss finish. A
stable hollow body-compatible stand will protect the guitar between takes.
