Gretsch Roots

Today, the US guitar maker Gretsch Guitars is particularly known for its electric guitars, but the company started out with other instruments. At the beginning , Gretsch was particularly successful with bluegrass and folk instruments such as banjos and resonator guitars.

Following the motto “Back to the Roots” - Gretsch has brought the Roots Collection onto the market, which celebrates and revives precisely these good old instruments. The range includes ukuleles, parlor- size acoustic guitars and several resonator guitars . All instruments are in the style of years gone by and convey a certain Vintage feeling when you look at them, which is further enhanced by the thin, matt finish . When it comes to resonator guitars, the discerning bluegrass guitarist can look forward to round and square neck versions of each model; a Gretsch Ampli-Sonic resonator cone is responsible for the best possible sound . We didn't skimp on the pickups either: Fishman pickups are installed in selected instruments.

Lovers of instruments in Vintage design and those who want to become one will surely find what they are looking for in the Roots Collection. All models are of course very well made, as is typical for Gretsch, and will give the player a lot of joy.
