Founded in Brooklyn in 1883, over the brand’s 140 years of instrument-making countless instruments have borne the brand name and logo that gives them claim to “That Great Gretsch Sound.” But, only a select set of guitars bearing the Gretsch brand name can be said to embody the essence of what makes that Gretsch sound so great—and, no instruments epitomize the extraordinary expertise and attention to detail of Gretsch’s most trusted hands like the Gretsch Custom Shop.

This Gretsch Custom Shop guitar represents the creative apex of the company’s time-honored legacy of making instruments, where “That Great Gretsch Sound” reaches an entirely new plane—preserving and protecting it, giving today’s most discerning guitar players access to the best of all the Gretsch sounds available anywhere in the world.
