A "Dark" Style Rancher Jr. in the Gretsch Universe
The G5013CE Rancher Jr. revisits the spirit of Gretsch Rancher acoustics with a darker, more alluring interpretation, while retaining the iconic visual codes of the series. Within the lineup, it positions itself as a compact electro-acoustic, ideal for those who want the Gretsch design, easy playability, and integrated amplification for rehearsals, studio, and live performance.
Who Is This Electro-Acoustic For?
Thanks to its Rancher Jr. size and cutaway, this guitar is particularly suited for beginner to intermediate guitarists seeking comfort and versatility, as well as experienced musicians who want a compact electro-acoustic for the stage. It performs very well in pop, folk, country, and light rock accompaniment, with ergonomics that encourage both chord playing and melodic lines higher up the neck.
Sound Characteristics
The combination of a laminated spruce top and laminated mahogany back and sides delivers a clear attack, a well-defined midrange, and balanced projection, ideal for both pick and fingerstyle playing. The arched back enhances sound dispersion and responsiveness, while the sculpted X bracing promotes openness and dynamic range. When plugged in, the Fishman Isys III electronics allow quick EQ adjustments (bass, mid, treble) to suit a PA system, acoustic amplifier, or recording setup, with the practical advantage of a built-in tuner and low battery indicator.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
This G5013CE comes factory-equipped with D'Addario EJ16 Phosphor Bronze Light (.012-.053) strings, a gauge perfectly suited to this type of electro-acoustic guitar.
