Gretsch Guitars: The Original Icon of Cool

Gretsch guitars are a premium American classic. The family-owned company introduced its first branded electric guitars to the market in 1939, and they've been carving out their own corner in rock, blues, rockabilly, and beyond ever since. Known for their signature twang, full-bodied resonance, and just the right amount of vintage bite, guitars from Gretsch are behind some of music's most iconic sounds.

If you want to try out a Gretsch guitar for yourself, check out the curated collection for sale here at American Musical Supply. Our lineup includes classics like the Electromatic series for players who crave “That Great Gretsch Sound!" and legendary hollow bodies that ooze retro cool, along with plenty of others. No matter what you choose, you know you're hitting the stage with finishes and details that are all Gretsch — bold, punchy, and dripping with style. 

Gretsch GuitarsGretsch Guitars

Know your Gretsch: solid-body, hollow-body, and center-block builds

Which Gretsch build best suits your style? Each body type has its own attitude and sound, so it's a good idea to refresh what you know about their differences:

  • Solid-Body Gretsch Guitars: This is your straight shooter. Gretsch's solid-body guitars are carved from a single block of wood, giving you tight attack and clean sustain. They can handle the grit without getting mushy, making them a natural fit for metal and rock players who need cut and control. 
  • Hollow-Body Gretsch Guitars: This is where Gretsch made its name. Their hollow-body guitars feature an open-chamber design that produces the iconic "big body sound" that practically begs for jazz, blues, or rockabilly riffs. Sure, they can get a little wild with feedback at high volumes, but that's half the fun if you know how to wrangle it.
  • Center-Block Gretsch Guitars : Consider this your middle ground. A center block runs down the guitar's body, taming feedback while still keeping much of that hollow body character. It's a jack-of-all-trades design that makes for a balanced, versatile guitar that'll handle anything from bluesy leads to hard rock riffs. 

The Gretsch Collections: Find your perfect fit

Gretsch knows that every guitarist's journey is unique, so they offer a lineup of collections to match every style, budget, and skill level. Here's a quick guide to help you find the Gretsch guitar that's calling your name. 

The Professional Collection

When it's time to go all-in, the Gretsch Professional Collection brings premium craftsmanship and high-performance sound to the table. They're the only Gretsch guitars built in Japan and feature top-shelf components, stunning finishes, and classic Gretsch tones full of vintage flair. 

Available in hollow body, center block, and solid body builds, the Professional Collection lets you choose from iconic models like the White Falcon and Duo Jet. If you're after that unmistakable Gretsch tone and craftsmanship that delivers on every note, this is your lineup.

The Streamliner Collection

If you're looking for the Gretsch that nails classic style and tone without draining your bank account, the Streamliner Collection is the way to go. They're perfect for players who want to explore new sounds and tones and a solid option for modern rockers and genre-hoppers. 

Featuring center block and hollow body options, Streamliners are great for everything from rock to jazz to blues with their Broad'Tron pickups that offer high output and a bit more bite. The Streamliner is Gretsch's answer to accessible tone, built for players ready to add some Gretsch mojo to their setup without breaking the bank.

The Electromatic Collection

The Electromatic Collection is Gretsch's sweet spot for players who want pro-level sound without the boutique price tag. Made with solid construction, high-output pickups, and Bigsby vibratos that add the signature twang, Electromatic Gretsch guitars offer incredible playability and style at an approachable price. 

You'll find hollow bodies and center block designs here, with models like the Electromatic Jet and the G5420T resonating with the big, open sounds that make Gretsch famous. Think of it as the middle ground between the entry-level Streamliners and the high-end Professional models — loaded with vibe and built to gig.

The Acoustic Collection

Not every Gretsch has to plug in to turn heads. The Gretsch Acoustic Collection includes a range of acoustic and acoustic-electric guitars with a character all their own. Known for unique designs and that classic warm tone, they're a nod to Gretsch's roots in folk, country, and Americana. Gretsch acoustics might be less traditional than other brands, but they're unmistakably cool and deliver the unique, signature tone that's just so Gretsch.

Gretsch Legends: classic and modern players

Gretsch guitars have been the weapon of choice for some of the most iconic guitarists of the last couple of decades. 

Chet Atkins, the original "Mr. Guitar," used Gretsch to pioneer fingerstyle country, inspiring generations of players with his smooth, intricate picking on models like the 6120. The Beatles’ own George Harrison brought Gretsch into rock 'n' roll's mainstream with his Duo Jet and Country Gentleman shaping their early sound and countless records since.

In modern music, Brian Setzer reignited rockabilly with his Gretsch 6120, blending swing, punk, and rock 'n' roll for a timeless tone that's unmistakably Gretsch. Jack White, meanwhile, gave the Gretsch Duo Jet a gritty, raw sound in garage rock and blues, showing that Gretsch's edge hasn't dulled a bit.
