This Pro Tennessean is a seriously cool, vintage-voiced machine. The combination of the maple body, Filter'Tron pickups, and Bigsby tremolo gives it that classic Gretsch vibe—perfect for rockabilly, blues, and roots rock players seeking a semi-hollow with character. It's a premium-priced instrument, but the build quality and tone are worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Bigsby dampens the sustain slightly, but it provides a characteristic warble and vibrato that adds a lot of expression.
They can exhibit a touch of microphonics at high gain, but the humbucker design mitigates it significantly; proper noise gate usage is always a good idea.
The 'U' profile is a comfortable standard, slightly thicker than some of the slimmer vintage-inspired Gretsch necks, but still very playable.
