These bold new design’s consist of the same body dimensions as the ‘P’ Series guitars. The Retromatic B1 & B2 bass is a fitting progression to the success of the Retromatic P1, P2, P3 guitar on entering the market. Well, we are very pleased to announce that the first models have arrived in the UK and will be exhibited at NAMM in January 2014. Their expertise, gained over the 40 years spent in the manufacture of guitars, is duly reflected in the Retromatic 131.Įarlier in the year we let you know about the new Retromatic B1 & B2 Bass which was in the final stages of development and soon to be released. The skilled staff in the legendary Peerless plant have mastered their trade well. Peerless, traditionally known for their production of high end carved Jazz guitars, along with over 4 decades of OEM manufacture for other well known brands, has again starred with a sparkling new and innovative addition to their outstanding range of guitars. It comes as no surprise that the Retromatic range has evolved into a dynamic and important new addition to the Peerless range. The Retromatic 131 is perhaps a reflection of what many guitarist may want for recording and gigging, all embodied in stunning and distinctive style. As with the Retromatic ‘P’ series guitars, ex MOKE guitarist and top UK producer Sean Genockey was heavily involved with the R&D and prototype testing of this model. The Humbuckers, again designed by Monty’s, are loaded as standard wound, at 7.8k on the bridge and 7.1k on the neck. The ‘Mother of Pearl’ angled inlay on the neck and black back and sides, gives a sleek look to this stunning guitar. In contrast to the ‘P’ series range, the top body on the 131 binding consists of white/ black/ white and the neck is bound in black. Constructed from laminated maple top, back and sides, the scalloped bracing and a mahogany sound post give the arched top support, while reducing feedback, thus producing a notably comfortable, innovative and versatile guitar. Other than size, the marked difference with the Retromatic 131, is that it is completely hollow. The single F Hole has also been reduced in size in keeping with the guitar proportions, all adding to a wonderful looking addition to the Retromatic guitar range. The distinctive pickguard shape is perfectly modified to accommodate the smaller body width, and once again attached directly onto the guitar. The lower bout dimension is 325mm and depth is 74mm. The Retromatic 131 features the same headstock design as the ‘P’ range, with elegant styling included, and an even more compact body size. (December 23, 2013) - Expanding on the critically acclaimed Retromatic P1, P2, P3 range of guitars, we are delighted to announce the release of the stylish new Retromatic 131.
