Peerless Retromatic P1 Sunburst
The stunning new RETROMATIC is the latest release from PEERLESS, in the exciting new range of smaller body, thinline guitars.
The RETROMATIC’s stylish and distinctive headstock, truss-rod cover, and pick guard design, oozes ultra-cool, retro-rock appeal, which makes a bold, confident, standout statement from Peerless. As a crowning touch the quirky Peerless logo has been die-cast, set, and attached onto the headstock. The 628mm scaled neck is maple, with rosewood fret board, and angled Mother of Pearl inlay, consisting of 22 polished frets. Neck width at nut is 43mm, and 57mm at end fret, with black binding to match the headstock, giving not only a slick, sophisticated appearance, but also, a comfortable playing profile.
The RETROMATIC P1 has a single humbucker. The Peerless branded pickups are designed by Matt Gleeson, of Monty’s Pickups London, and were specifically created for the RETROMATIC body shape and its acoustic characteristics.
The bridge humbucker is Alnico II wound at 7.9k / 8.0k to give you that ‘vintage crunch’ when required.
The laminated maple archtop contoured body, consists of a mahogany sustain block and single ‘F’ hole to retain that lively, dynamic vibe while facilitating effortless performance, at highvolume. Several retro finishes are available. These include natural, teal green, honey sunburst, ivory, black, gold, and candy apple red, finished off with a combination of either black or aged white/ black binding and nickel hardware.
The Retromatic will be available with the Stetsbar tremolo system as an extra option with it’s innovative design features such as the Tune-o-Matic floating bridge system which moves with the strings and thus minimizes string fatigue and bridgewear. The entire bridge assembly floats on micro-bearings for the smoothest and most reliable vibrato action available to give unrivalled pitch range and stability in its class coupled with an extremely smooth up and down action.
With the professional build quality you have come to expect from the legendary Peerless plant, the new RETROMATIC range is a, must have for any guitarist who wishes to add diversity to their repertoire of inspired sounds!
