Latest News Release

Gretsch is excited to release five additions to its Roots Collection, an eclectic family of banjos, mandolins, resonator guitars, ukuleles and Rancher acoustic guitars that evoke the feel and look of the era before the company made its entry into the electric guitar world in the 1950s.

It is with great pleasure that Gretsch is releasing the G7593T Billy Duffy White Falcon guitar, which has immediately become one of the most unique and bewitching White Falcon guitars ever made.

Gretsch is proud to honor Rancid founder Tim Armstrong with the release of two new signature models, the G5191MS Tim Armstrong Electromatic Hollow Body, and the G5191TMS Tim Armstrong Electromatic Hollow Body with Bigsby® tremolo tailpiece.

Gretsch is proud to introduce seven new models to its incredibly successful Electromatic series. Now featuring several variations on classic Gretsch guitar models, as well as bass guitars and left-handed models, the Gretsch Electromatic series truly has something for everyone.

Fans of Gretsch and of alt-rock indie heroes OK Go now have a very special chance to score one of the Electromatic™ CVT III guitars and G5222 Electromatic amps used by the quartet in the elaborate automobile-as-musical-instrument video for their song “Needing/Getting.” Part of the video appeared in a Chevy Sonic commercial during Super Bowl XLVI, and it has amassed nearly 20 million online viewers, making it an enormous viral hit.

Gretsch is proud to take players on a musical journey through nearly a century of great Gretsch history by introducing its Roots Collection of acoustic instruments. This exciting new family of banjos, mandolins, resonator guitars, ukuleles and Rancher acoustic guitars feature classically authentic Gretsch designs that transport players to a bygone era well before the company made its acclaimed 1950s entry into the electric guitar world.

A great Gretsch name is back with the return of Rancher acoustic guitars. The richly resonant Rancher first appeared in the early 1950s with its highly distinctive triangular sound hole and sweepingly elegant pickguard, and Gretsch is now very proud to re-introduce the model.

Gretsch announces the George Harrison Signature Duo Jet Giveaway. As part of the contest, one lucky winner will receive a G6128T-GH George Harrison Signature Duo Jet guitar, along with a copy of George Harrison: Living in the Material World, the companion book to the documentary by Oscar-winning filmmaker Martin Scorsese.

Gretsch announces the debut of several new Electromatic Series guitars. The additions to the immensely popular Electromatic collection take on a new voice and identity while resonating true to the unmistakable Gretsch sound. The series welcomes nine new models, including two basses and two left-handed guitars.
