Full Description
View Full DescriptionEndless acoustic charm
Don't let its sweet, compact size deceive you. The parlour guitar shape has a tone that belies its form, delivering superb dynamics and glistening articulation. And it has a wealth of other benefits too. Thanks to the portable, lightweight nature of the guitar, it's a hit among travelling musicians, allowing for both easy transportation and stellar stage presence. Plus, it also lends itself to supremely comfortable fingerstyle playing - the nipped-in waist and small size promise full manoeuvrability and control over those intricate techniques.
Maple and spruce
...it's a match made in heaven. These two tonewoods complement each other beautifully, and, luckily, they are showcased in all their glory on this Gretsch guitar. Used for the solid top, spruce produces incredible dynamics and sharp articulation, meaning every note will ring out with sublime clarity. You'll then have laminated maple back and sides adding a touch more brightness and volume. Maple's quick note decay and ability to separate the notes of even the thickest of chords means you'll have very little feedback, so you won't be burdened by any muddy tones. Only pure sonic perfection flows from these two tonewoods.
Built for the stage
Grab your audience's attention from the moment you step on stage. The sheer beauty of this guitar allows you to do just that. From the gold plexi pickguard to pearloid fretboard inlays, every inch has been crafted with care and attention to detail.
But when you have an amplified sound as well... that's when your audience will be truly mesmerised. The Fishman Presys III pickup system features an active onboard preamp and tuner, so you can effortlessly shape your tone and let the sonic qualities of maple and spruce really shine.
