2023 Gretsch Pristine LTD Center Block

The Gretsch Pristine LTD model is a guitar that evokes as much western swing as it does The Strokes. A semi-hollow Mahogany design with P90s offers up a beautifully balanced tone, and all gold appointments with the Dark Cherry Metallic top is not hard to look at in our opinion!

You'll see mostly classic Gretsch appointments here- 24.6" scale length, Bigsby tremolo, 12" fingerboard radius, and so on. This model is a little on the slimmer side with a 1.75" body depth, but the usual 16" bottom bout and 11.5" across the horns. The chambered Spruce center block keeps things light, while adding the sustain and woody qualities of a proper semi-hollow. Down to the P90 pickups with cream color inserts- we love just about everything about this guitar! Plugged into the BadCat BlackCat 15R on the floor- you get an amazing Beatlesque tone bridging the line between George and John. We adore the middle position quack! The Bigsby sits high offering a wider range of pitch bend than usual and tuning stability is solid. (If you don't try to do any Hendrix divebombs)

Minty condition (however we'll call it Excellent condition), these guitar's retail for $900 new and don't pop up used terribly often. Give this wild Gretsch a go!
