Gretsch Guitars

Gretsch guitars are some of the most iconic in electric guitar history. Gretsch's large hollow body instruments are known for their highly decorative look. They also boast a distinctive 'twangy' sound.

The story of Gretsch began with Friedrich Gretsch. A German immigrant to the USA, he set up business in Brooklyn, New York back in 1895. The company went on, under the guidance of Friedrich's son, to become the major guitar manufacturer that it is today.

Gretsch is best known for its hollow body electric guitar models including White Falcon and the Country Gentleman. They have long been seen as a luxury, top price brand. Though they continue to make high end guitars, recent years have seen more affordable ranges appear. The Electromatic and the Streamliner lines are much less expensive than the Professional series. They have become incredibly popular.
