HIGHLIGHTS:

Arc-Tone™ Bracing
Our all-new Arc-Tone™ bracing is our most advanced bracing system to date. Featuring torrefied maple tone bars with arc-shaped spruce support braces located underneath the bridge area, this combination of materials and design provides enhanced sustain, crisp note attack and excellent feedback control while retaining the open voice players expect from a Gretsch hollow body guitar.

Maple Neck with Rolled Fingerboard
A 12"-radius ebony fingerboard with rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets tops a 25.5"-scale maple neck with a comfortably familiar standard "U"-shaped profile for smooth playability, while the glow in the dark Luminlay® side dots offer precision fretting in low-light settings.

PRO-FT™ Filter’Tron Pickups
Featuring an Alnico 2 magnet in the Neck and Alnico 5 magnet in the Bridge, our direct-mounted PRO-FT™ Filter’Tron humbucking pickups deliver authentic Gretsch tone with enhanced punch, projection, and astounding note definition.
