Richard Fortus's signature Gretsch is a seriously cool, semi-hollow axe. The Filter'Trons give you that classic Gretsch vibe, but with more grit for modern rock tones. It’s ideal for players who want a unique voice, a comfortable neck, and a striking look—especially those leaning towards alternative and classic rock styles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Filter'Trons have a smoother, more refined tone than P90s, with a slightly warmer low-end and less raw, brittle high-end.
The 'Standard U' neck profile is a versatile shape, but it's not as slim as some modern guitars; larger hands should find it manageable but potentially a bit full.
It helps control feedback, but a semi-hollow will always be more prone to feedback than a solid-body, so careful amp placement is still needed.
