The Gretsch Professional Collection Tennessean is built to capture the timeless character that made Gretsch famous, while introducing performance upgrades for today’s demanding musicians. At the heart of its tone are PRO-FT Filter'Tron pickups, known for their dynamic clarity, punch, and rich articulation. If you are pushing a clean amp or cranking up the gain, these pickups deliver unmistakable Gretsch sparkle without sacrificing warmth or low-end presence. The treble bleed circuit on the master volume ensures your tone stays crisp even when rolling back the volume, while the no-load master tone control adds extra tonal flexibility. This guitar delivers the sonic versatility needed to move easily between classic rock, rockabilly, country, and beyond.
Designed with the modern performer in mind, the Tennessean offers a playing experience that feels effortless and inspiring. The maple neck features a comfortable Standard "U" profile with a slightly shortened 24.6" scale length, offering an ideal balance between easy string bending and taut resonance. The 12" radius rosewood fingerboard with rolled edges provides a smooth, broken-in feel, while medium jumbo frets allow for comfortable, precise fretting across the board. Luminlay side dots offer a helpful guide when performing on dimly lit stages, ensuring that you can always stay on track. Every element of the neck design is focused on maximising comfort and playability.
The Tennessean boasts a reliable hardware setup. The String-Thru Bigsby B6CP vibrato tailpiece improves tuning stability and sustain by optimising the string break angle over the bridge. Unlike traditional Bigsby designs, the String-Thru configuration simplifies restringing and enhances performance under heavy vibrato use. The Adjusto-Matic bridge with a pinned rosewood base keeps intonation rock solid, while Gotoh locking tuners ensure rapid, precise tuning adjustments with maximum stability. Every component delivers a consistent performance, on stage, in the studio, or during demanding rehearsals.
This historic-inspired beauty sports a unique laminated maple body. Finished in a rich Walnut Stain that highlights the natural beauty of the wood grain, complemented by a black plexi pickguard adorned with a gold Gretsch logo, this guitar is flawless. Nickel hardware, white binding with black purfling, and pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays complete the sophisticated aesthetic. This is a guitar that feels timeless yet fresh, exuding the kind of class that only Gretsch can deliver.
