Product Details
________________________________

"I want to play that Beatles sound again with my own hands."
Have you ever wished for that?
Obtaining a Gretsch from the same era and year is now almost a miracle. Even with many reissue models, that dry, resonant tone and sparkling harmonics can only be found in vintage guitars.

This is the very model George Harrison cherished.

A 1962 and a 1963 model, this is one of the two Country Gentleman guitars he owned from that era.

If you remember the tone he unleashed on the 1964 Ed Sullivan Show, you'll understand just how special this guitar is.

This particular instrument is a 1963 model, an original from Gretsch's golden age.

It features simulated F-holes for feedback prevention and a rich, balanced tone thanks to Ray Butts' Filter'Tron pickups.

Delicate yet resonant high frequencies, warm and three-dimensional mid-low frequencies—this is the quintessential Gretsch sound.

The sound undulates with a single vibrato, and the raw, lifelike quality that seems to vibrate the air remains undiminished even after more than half a century.

This instrument is not just any vintage guitar.

It's a 1963 model, the very same year George Harrison used one.

This guitar allows you to truly experience the resonance, luster, and dry tone that comes with age that Gretsch guitars of that era possessed. It possesses a presence that seems to capture the very air of that time.

The Beatles, George Harrison, and a vintage Gretsch.

A guitar with all three elements comes along rarely on the market.

This is a guitar that should only be owned by true fans, true collectors, or players who are serious about pursuing the perfect sound.

Play this 1963 Country Gentleman, and you'll surely feel it too. That intro, those chords, that resonance, that era, that sound—it's all revived here and now. Experience this miraculous vintage sound with the actual instrument.
