Key Features
- Laminated Maple Body — Underpins the guitar with a bright, vibrant voice. Also boasts the vintage-inspired perimeters and refined arches that make a Gretsch, a Gretsch!
- Trestle Block Bracing — All new design helps to reduce unwanted feedback, which is essential when playing onstage through a loud amplifier. By increasing rigidity and contact between the top and back of the body, this also results in the sound having a faster attack with more focus, snap, and increased sustain.
- Classic “C”-Shaped Maple Neck — Offers a comfortable feel for improved playability and performance; topped with a 12”-radius Laurel fingerboard.
- FT-5E Filter'Tron Pickups — Explode with huge full-bodied punch, classic chime and enhanced presence, clarity and note definition.
- Treble Bleed Circuit — Retains the high-end in your signal when lowering the master volume knob.
- Adjusto-Matic Bridge with Bigsby Tailpiece — Beautifully-machined bridge allows you to easily make intonation adjustments, with gorgeous Bigsby B60 tailpiece letting you make subtle on-the-fly warbles.
- Graph Tech NuBone Nut — Innovative material doesn't damp string vibrations like plastic, but transfers the optimum frequencies to the guitar allowing for more volume, tone, and harmonics.
