Gretsch G5031FT Rancher Dreadnought Fidelitron P/UP, Sunburst

Full Description

The ideal electro acoustic for the stage

Built to provide magnificent live sound. Gretsch have employed all of their fantastic guitar-manufacturing nous to ensure that the G5031FT Rancher is the ultimate electro acoustic for performance. This is thanks to the amazing Fideli'Tron pickup it's fitted with.

The Fideli'Tron is uniquely brilliant. It'll give you incredibly distinctive electro acoustic sound thanks to its impressive dynamic range. At low volume, you can enjoy sweet, warm tones that give your more gentle playing a touch of elegance. You can ramp up your output and experience exhilarating electric power like never before in an electro acoustic, too. And everything you play will be delivered with incredible clarity, ensuring your playing is never plagued by noise interference or feedback. Your gigs and concerts will be better than ever.

Superb playability

A guitar that's designed to help you play with pin-point precision. The Rancher has a stack of features that will ensure your playing experience is as enjoyable and hassle-free as possible. The mahogany neck has a sleek gloss polyester finish, making it superbly smooth. This will allow you to move up and down the neck at high speed with complete ease.

You've got lots of space to play with, too. The neck doesn't join the guitar's body until the 14th fret, giving you a long scale to use in your music. You won't have to awkwardly stretch over a clunky neck joint to play at the top of the scale. This means you can focus entirely on your creativity without being held back. The Rancher will feel so natural in your hands, you'll wonder how you ever got by without one.

Terrific tone

So much of an electro acoustic guitar's quality comes from the woods that are used in its construction. You can have a powerful pickup system, exquisite playability, and tremendous style, but it'll all mean nothing if you don't have the correct blend of woods to give you flawless tone.

Fortunately, the Gretsch Rancher Dreadnought is crafted with a combination of premium tonewoods to provide you with a fantastic sonic palette. Laminated flame maple used for the guitar's back and sides gives impeccable balance to your sound. This means you'll always enjoy even definition at any pitch. Solid spruce used for the guitar's top provides excellent sharpness in your high notes, while you'll also enjoy a full, rich low-end thanks to mahogany wood used for the guitar's neck. This is all-encompassing tone.

Aesthetically beautiful

Breathtaking style. The Gretsch Rancher should serve as a lesson to other guitar manufacturers of how to make an instrument look both supremely unique and tremendously stylish. An eye-catching sunburst finish, paired with elegant gold-plated hardware makes this electro acoustic look extremely classy. A triangular soundhole is strikingly different, while a 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard adds an extra touch of individuality to this very special guitar.
