Vintage Roy Smeck 7209 Tribute

The Airline RS-III is a tribute to the vintage Roy Smeck signature model of the late 1950’s, commonly known as the “model 7209”. Originally offered with only 2 pickups, the Airline RS-II has been out of production for nearly a decade. After being bombarded by customer requests, the fine folks at Eastwood/Airline have finally relented and reissued this captivating model. However, like many people these days, they wondered, “If two is good, wouldn’t three be better?”. I mean who doesn’t love “ONE MORE” of everything? So now we have the RS-III as well, in all its glory, presented here with not 1, not 2, but 3 good looking and great sounding VALCO Argyle pickups!

Vintage three pickup versions are extremely hard to find these days, and if you are lucky enough to find one, you better not have huge crypto losses in your portfolio or you’ll never be able to afford it. This model features a unique, semi-hollow construction without F-Holes, which combined with the VALCO Argyle single coil pickups can produce a unique tone very reminiscent of those classic vintage guitars. Despite its semi-hollow design, the RS-III is capable of producing clean or distorted tones with minimal feedback. Its unique 4-way pickup selector will allow you to enable all pickups, or use your choice of bridge, middle, or neck.

Like all Eastwood and Airline Reissue and Tribute Models, the RS-III is also upgraded from vintage spec for increased functionality, and improvements to playability and tone.
