RS Guitarworks is proud to announce the only authorized and endorsed guitar by Country music legend Marty Stuart and his band, the Fabulous Superlatives. RS Guitarworks got together with Marty, Cousin Kenny Vaughan and Chris Scruggs to create a series of instruments that meets Marty and the Fabulous Superlatives’ desire for classic feel, tone and build quality.

The RS Superlative guitar has a one piece maple neck with dimensions taken directly from Marty’s favorite Tele, ‘Clarence’ (the late Clarence White’s bender-modified 1954 Esquire). A lightweight pine body with a silver sparkle nitrocellulose finish makes the RS Guitarworks Superlative a picker’s dream. The RS Superlative MS is also equipped with a Custom B-Bender handmade by Gene Parsons, just like the one found in Marty's favorite 'Clarence'. Lindy Fralin custom-wound SuperlaTone pickups and world-renowned RS Guitarworks electronics round out this amazing guitar.

The RS Superlative guitars and basses were used extensively on Marty and the Fabulous Superlatives’ new album, Nashville, Volume 1: Tear The Woodpile Down (2012, Sugar Hill Records).

The Rockabilly series is based on a classic body style – with added contours to provide a more comfortable feel in the guitar . From there, we added TV Jones pickups and a custom 60s-inspired back-painted pickguard with clear RS logo to show the body color. With the Rockabilly series, we made a guitar with striking looks – while keeping a very raw, classic tone. RS worked hard to arrive at the perfect wood combination that makes these guitars very special, with a tone all their own.
