This Electromatic Jr. is a seriously cool, compact Gretsch with a surprisingly big voice. The BroadTrons give you that classic rock snarl, and the Bigsby adds a ton of character. It's perfect for players wanting that Gretsch vibe in a more manageable package, especially those playing blues, rockabilly, or classic rock.
