The Old Soul is something special; like the name implies - it’s built to play and sound older than it is. These guitars feel and sound like they have been played for 50 years! The Old Soul is a culmination of observations that come with 24 years of building new guitars and restoring 100s of vintage guitars.

The body is a mix of Northern Ash and old-growth Sugar Pine - finished in a super thin lacquer applied just like Leo did in the day. The Old Soul is topped off with all American-made hardware and pickups designed specifically for these guitars by Lindy Fralin and RS that have a unique wind and use three different magnets!

There are no off-the-shelf parts used on RS guitars and no corners are cut. You simply won’t find a better guitar in this price range. Every RS Guitarworks guitar includes a custom G&G hard case made especially for RS and our lifetime warranty to the original owner!

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.

The Slab Bass is our take on the early 50’s classic design. Simple and straight-ahead, but after all these years it’s still timeless.
