Frequently Asked Questions
It’s brighter and more focused than some of the older, thicker-walled brass models, but retains the Gretsch warmth; the spiral wires contribute to a more complex tone.
Yes, it’s a thinner finish, so it requires more care than a standard lacquer; avoid abrasive cleaners and handle with care to maintain its appearance.
Absolutely, the 20 spiral wires are easily adjustable for varying degrees of sensitivity and tone; loosening them will produce a more open, resonant sound.
