Gretsch Guitars

Gretsch is one of the oldest and most storied brands in the history of guitar making. In 1883, a young German immigrant living Brooklyn, NY named Friedrich Gretsch opened a small instrument shop selling banjos and drums. However, he soon died, leaving the business to his teenage son Fred. Fred Gretsch turned the company into one of the biggest importer/exporters of musical instruments by 1916, and the "Great Gretsch Sound" would become heard the world over for the next 80+ years. Today, Gretsch guitars are distributed by Fender® Musical Instruments Corp., and have returned to the glory they earned in the '50s and '60s. The guitars pictured here are in stock and individually photographed. We will ship Gretsch® products within the United States only.

Gretsch G6120DC Chet Atkins Electric Guitar Orange Stain View

Gretsch brings back the spirit of 1962 with this Chet Atkins G6120DC. Modeled after one of the guitar picking legend’s guitars, this G6120DC features an ebony fretboard with eye-catching Neo classic inlays and a double-cutaway design that offers plenty of room for those fast runs up and down the neck. We like how the gold hardware matches the pickguard and really complements the finish. On top of great looks, the G6120DC comes equipped with two High Sensitive Filter’tron pickups (bridge and neck) for some seriously hot-sounding tone—great for everything from the lightning fast picking to jazzier fingerstyle playing. Other unique features on this model include a snap-on back pad for extra comfort, a standby switch and a single lever string-mute.

Gretsch G6120RHH Reverend Horton Heat Electric Guitar Orange Lacquer View

Gretsch gives praise to the legendary "Reverend" Jim Heath from the psychobilly legends Reverend Horton Heat with this slick hollowbody. Adorned with a vintage maple stain finish and lavishly bound F-holes, this guitar comes loaded with TV Jones pickups for that legendary rockabilly sound. The master tone switch allows you to alternate between the pickups for everything from a warm, rich rhythm tone to that classic trebely "chicken-picking" lead sound. The western-style inlays really stand out on the fretboard and the Bigbsby vibrato tailpiece ensures you'll have plenty of room to break out those surf-laden lead lines. Complete with a clear plexi-pickguard embossed with the Gretsch logo, this guitar is as wild and exciting as the man who inspired it.

Gretsch G6128T-GH George Harrison Signature Electric Guitar Black View

What else can be said about George Harrison that hasn't been said already? Gretsch pays tribute to the Beatles guitarist by replicating his Gretsch Duo Jet, the model which he referred to as his first "real decent guitar." With features such as a black finish, maple top on a chambered mahogany body, two DynaSonic pickups, a rocking bar bridge, and silver plexi pickguard, the guitar looks just like the one Harrison was seen making history with. This is a great addition to any Beatles, George Harrison, or Gretsch collection, not to mention being an excellent guitar itself.
