- Gretsch Synchromatic Jr. G3967 Historic Series
guitarz.blogspot.com Gretsch guitars are usually associated with cool super classic outlines, but the rare Gretsch Synchromatic Jr. G3967 really stands out of the lot, with its claw-like florentine cutaway, thin waistline, cat's eye sound-holes...
- Vinage & Rare Guitar Of The Week: 1956 Gretsch Chet Atkins Model 6129
guitarz.blogspot.com: Whoops! It seems I've not featured any Vintage & Rare guitars recently - this is not a deliberate oversight, rather it's just a case of me having been very busy and often not posting on the blog until last thing at night...
- The Mini-me Version Of The Gretsch Electromatic Bo Diddley Guitar
guitarz.blogspot.com: When I saw the Buy It Now price on this Gretsch Electromatic Bo Diddley guitar currently listed on eBay I did a double take, for $224.99 seems very reasonable for a Gretsch guitar. My next reaction was that it must be a copy or...

Gretsch Roots Collection G9500 flat top parlour-style acoustic guitar
guitarz.blogspot.com:
You gotta see this. Gretsch has rolled out a new guitar for their "Roots" series, recreating guitar models from a much earlier era. This time out they put their mark on a guitar that echoes the stylings of old plywood Harmony "Stella" models from the '40s-60s. Right down to the "Steel Reinforced Neck" stencil on the headstock.Or, as Gretsch themselves put it:
Crackerjack quality at a sober price! Faithfull to the Gretsch "Rex" parlor guitars of the 1930s, '40s and '50s, the all-new G9500 Jim Dandy Flat Top parlor-style model embodies everything that was great about everyone's first guitar. Everything and then some, that is, because the G9500 is crafted with select guitar woods and is fully lined and braced for warm and pleasing tone, with a 24" scale for endless hours of playing comfort.Indeed, it is a guitar that appeals. I've always had a soft spot for parlour-sized acoustics, and absolutely love those retro looks but with the added bonus of modern quality materials and construction it should sound and play a whole lot better than its influences.
