The Gretsch Tennessean is one of the most revered hollow-body guitars in Gretsch history, renowned for its rich, complex voice and unparalleled style. This guitar continues the storied Tennessean lineage, offering musicians a world-class performance experience that’ll keep them coming back for more. From its powerful PRO-FT Filter’Tron pickups to its Bigsby B6CP tailpiece, the Gretsch Tennessean is a top-tier instrument with tons of exciting features to offer the modern musician.
With a sleek 2.5″ deep body, the Gretsch Tennessean is light and comfortable, making it a great choice for guitarists who want to avoid shoulder strain during long gigs and extended practice sessions. Despite its compact design, though, the Tennessean projects an impressively full-bodied tone, thanks to its innovative Arc-Tone bracing. This bracing features torrefied maple tone bars with spruce support braces, ensuring better sustain, a crisper note attack, and exceptional feedback control.
From the moment you first strum the Gretsch Tennessean, you’ll fall in love with its standard “U” shaped maple neck. It has a comfy, familiar feel that’s not too thick or thin – it sits just right. Guitarists will also appreciate its 12″ radius rosewood fingerboard, which boasts precision-rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets for a sleek and smooth playing experience.
The Tennessean’s PRO-FT Filter’Tron humbuckers deliver a pleasing blend of vintage and modern tones, offering a versatile sonic palette. These pickups provide a stunning sound with top-end clarity, glassy mids, and a tight bottom end, making them perfect for a wide range of performance settings.
The Gretsch Tennessean combines all the classic appointments beloved by Gretsch enthusiasts with outstanding new performance specs. It features a deep cherry stain finish, white headstock binding, and a silver plexi pickguard with a black Gretsch logo. The guitar also boasts a Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut, an Adjusto-Matic bridge, and Gotoh locking tuners, ensuring reliable performance and tuning stability.
Shipped with a G6241 deluxe hardshell case, the Gretsch Tennessean is a must-have instrument for musicians who want a masterfully crafted hollow-body guitar that’s dripping with old-school charm.
