NEW - Fab Gear has worked with our good friends at Gretsch to create a stunning new take on Gretsch’s Broadkaster model. The Fab Gear Broadkaster is what happens when you fuse a 59’ flametop, with the unmistakable class of a Gretsch guitar! This guitar features a cherry sunburst flame maple top, cherry stained, mahogany back and sides, and rosewood fingerboard, with hump-block inlays. Other unique appointments are cream colored pickup bezels and pickguard, and Grover tuners on the headstock! Also Included is a deluxe hardcover copy of “Gretsch: 140 Years and counting” detailing 140 years of Gretsch history. This guitar is being built exclusively for Fab Gear by Gretsch, and includes a certificate of authenticity signed by Fred Gretsch, and deluxe hardshell case.

Two new U.S.-made Full'Tron™ pickups deliver full-spectrum sonic range with a growl unlike any other pickup, in addition to classic Gretsch® chime, balance and brilliance with a dash of extra-mid concentration for powering through overdriven and distorted passages at full volume. Gretsch's time-honored "Broadkaster" name now adorns the flagship guitars of its center block lineup, crafted for full-spectrum sound at high volume with powerful new pickups and a chambered spruce center block that enhances body resonance for more organic tone and comfortably lighter weight. For big sound in a small package, this guitar features a slightly smaller single-cutaway body for greater comfort, tonal focus and feedback resistance.
