Peerless Releases the Retromatic Guitar


United Kingdom (December 17, 2012) -- Peerless Guitar has announced a new line of small-bodied, thinline guitars - the Retromatic series. Here are the details from the company:

The guitars come with a variety of options, either a single humbucker, or a combination of humbucker and P-90 pickups, with or without the 6-way varitone. The bridge humbucker is wound vintage but hotter at 9.4k to give you that "crunch" when required and the neck P-90 Alnico V wound at 8.0k provides the clarity but with plenty of good, strong rock. The archtop contoured body consists of a mahogany sustain block and single "F" hole to retain that lively vibe while allowing you to perform with ease at high volume. The 628mm scaled neck consists of 22 polished frets.

Several retro finishes are available including silver, teal green, honey sunburst, ivory, black, gold, and candy apple red, finished in a combination of either black or aged white/black triple binding with nickel hardware. Left-handed models are available by order.

  • Neck Maple

Funny is that these are a little cheaper than what Duesenbergs cost europeans. Nice guitar, need to here it first though.

Well, I can't afford a Dusenberg...so I love it. I have a number of Korean guitars and frankly I think they're great. No, they're not "investment quality" but I don't buy guitars as investments. I love having a variety of different guitars to play and makers like this allow that without having to sell my kids for organ donations.

While I enjoy the design aesthetics of this, it's a little too close to a Duesenberg Starplayer TV for my likes. :(
