What makes a Gretsch, a Gretsch? A question with endless possible answers. But let’s focus on the most important - the sound. Loaded with a pair of superb Filter'Tron pickups, this model kicks out a tone full of pure power and punch. And, combined with the chambered mahogany body, a wide-balanced sound resonates freely with a truly distinctive acoustic quality. Offering responsive low and mid-range frequencies, along with a sparkling high-end, these Filter'Trons know how to stand out on stage sonically. So, you can guarantee that your playing will always be heard, no matter the venue.
Experience incredible note definition and articulation, thanks to a treble-bleed circuit. Providing much more clarity when rolling back the master volume, the unique circuit ensures your high frequencies are heard. So, for every lead line or solo, your melodies will soar through the mix with any amount of gain. And, with master tone and volume knobs, you can take full control of your tone.
Gretsch know what players expect from their performance. Which is why they consistently go above and beyond to guarantee an exceptional feel throughout all their guitar models. A chambered mahogany body creates a feeling of weightlessness, due to its lightweight nature. Roam on stage with total freedom and never be restricted within your performance. And, thanks to a single-cutaway design, you can enjoy effortless access to the upper frets for those powerful solo leads.
As for the neck, it’s all about sleekness. An ultra-smooth black walnut fingerboard lets your fingers glide up and down its surface, allowing for rapid riff-playing and chord transitions. What's more - a thin U-shaped mahogany neck fits snug in the palm of your hand for a comfortable and secure grip, meaning you can take control of each note you play. More precision, no restriction.
Made by manufacturers who are woven into the history of rock 'n' roll. Gretsch's iconic sound has seen their guitars find the way into the hands of some of rock music's most lauded performers.
The list is staggering. Pete Townshend used one to cut Quadrophenia with The Who, as well as on their gigantic, iconic hit "Won't Get Fooled Again". George Harrison played one on a ton of Beatles material. Neil Young, Velvet Underground, Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones. The illustrious collection of artists who have used a Gretsch is like a who's who of music's greatest. It's about time you experienced why these marvellous guitars are so remarkable.
