Airline RS III - Tobacco Burst

$639.00 $899.00

Description

The Airline RS-III is a tribute to the Roy Smeck model of the late 50’s, known as the model 7209. An original three pickup version is extremely hard to find these days, and if you find one, you'll have to be ready to shell out $2,000+ for one!

The unique semi-hollow design without F-Holes combine with the VALCO Argyle single coil pickups to produce a unique tone reminiscent from many early electric guitars from the 50’s and 60’s. Despite its semi-hollow design, the RS-III is capable of producing clean or distorted tones with minimal feedback.
