Gretsch Nashville Hollow-Body Electric Guitar with String-Thru Bigsby in Cadillac Green in stock

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibrations into an electrical signal, which is then amplified. Unlike acoustic guitars, they rely on amplification for volume and tone shaping, making them highly versatile in genres like rock, blues, jazz, and metal. Electric guitars come in many body styles—solid, semi-hollow, and hollow—and feature different pickup configurations, neck types, and hardware. From smooth clean tones to aggressive distortion, they offer a wide sonic range, making them the backbone of modern guitar music.

About Gretsch

Gretsch is an iconic American musical instrument company renowned for its production of high-quality guitars, particularly in the realm of hollow-body and semi-hollow electric guitars. Founded in 1883 by Friedrich Gretsch in Brooklyn, New York, the company initially focused on manufacturing drums and banjos before expanding into guitars. However, it was under the leadership of Fred Gretsch Jr. in the 1950s that Gretsch guitars gained widespread recognition and popularity, particularly with the introduction of the iconic “Country Gentleman” and “White Falcon” models, which became synonymous with the rockabilly and rock ‘n’ roll movements of the era.

Gretsch guitars are celebrated for their distinctive aesthetic and rich, resonant tones, making them a favorite among musicians across various genres, including rock, jazz, country, and blues. The company’s commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail is evident in each instrument, with features such as Bigsby vibrato tailpieces, Filter’Tron pickups, and signature “F-holes” adorning many of their guitars. Today, Gretsch continues to produce a wide range of electric and acoustic guitars, staying true to its heritage while also embracing innovation to meet the evolving needs of musicians worldwide.
