Tons of classic Gretsch features are present in this Burgundy Stain Tennessee Rose. A laminated arched maple top and laminated maple sides and back are joined to a maple neck. The top has bound, oversized f-holes and the whole body has a gloss urethane finish. The bound ebony fretboard has 22 frets and neo-classic thumbnail markers. A pair of Gretsch Hilo Tron pickups are spitting out righteous tones in every configuration. These are a lower output pickups that have an enchanting brightness to them that pairs perfectly with a hollowbody like this. The Bigsby B6C Vibrato tail piece lets you feather chords and leads, alike, for killer country swagger. The ebony-based Rocking-Bar Bridge and Grover Sta-Tite die cast tuners keep everything in check for rock solid tuning. Other standout features include a zero fret, simulated F-holes and a silver plexi pickguard with embossed Chet Atkins signature. This Tennessee Rose comes with a Gretsch Deluxe hard shell case.

This and all of the Gretsch classic reissues are built in Gretsch’s Japanese facility (Fender Japan), home to some of the best luthiers in the world. Attention to detail and quality is beyond belief.
