Description

For nearly a century, Abbey Road Studios has shaped the history of recorded music and popular culture. The birthplace of some of the greatest recordings ever created, and a hotbed for the development of innovative techniques and equipment, Abbey Road is the home of music making.
Gretsch has partnered with Abbey Road on the development and release of a very special Limited Edition guitar – the Gretsch Abbey Road Studiomatic Hollow Body. Featuring custom Filter’Tron pickups, and a custom-voiced Rumble Filter circuit developed in collaboration with Abbey Road sound engineers, the Abbey Road Studiomatic is not only an homage to the continuing legacy of Abbey Road Studios, but also a unique and incredibly versatile guitar.
