The Gretsch Historic Series represents the most extensive new guitar introduction in the company's 116 year history. All the designs are from guitars made between 1930 and 1950 with classic styling, modern playability and new features. There will be 26 guitars in ten different styles in this first run. The ten styles include five acoustic styles: Hawaiian, Grand Concert, Dreadnought, Sierra Jumbo and Resonator. Some of these guitars will be equipped with Fishman acoustic pickup systems.
Finishing out the line are three archtop electric Synchromatic models, the acoustic electric Streamliner and the Jet Mainliner lap steel. Many innovations and patented designs are introduced with these guitars with the Synchromatic archtop guitars going with the patented stairstep bridge. The acoustic electric have the Cat's eye sound hole that Gretsch came up with in the 1930's. The Hawaiian Deluxe brings back a 50-year old look. The Gretsch Company at P.O. Box 2468, Savannah, GA 31402. Web to: www.gretsch.com
