A Gretsch Signature Crafted by Nick 13
Inspired by a vintage Gretsch from Nick 13's collection, this Outlaw Heart modernizes the roots/mid-century spirit dear to the artist, while recalling his electric models through its black/burgundy palette and cream details. Within the Gretsch range, it stands as a signature acoustic with a strong character, halfway between tradition and contemporary stage.
For Which Musician and Styles?
Designed for intermediate to advanced guitarists but accessible to dedicated beginners, it excels in Americana, rockabilly, folk, and indie. The Grand Concert format favors fingerpicking, vocal accompaniment, and dynamic strumming without losing clarity.
The Sound
The solid spruce top provides attack, definition, and dynamics, while the mahogany back and sides offer warm mids and controlled lows. The Grand Concert format emphasizes balance and controlled projection, ideal both in studio and on stage. The compensated saddle improves intonation and sustain, and the Fishman electronics faithfully reproduce the acoustic tone without altering it.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Use phosphor bronze steel strings 12-53 (original gauge) to preserve tonal balance. Choose a Grand Concert sized case or gig bag (lower bout 14" / 355 mm) for a snug fit, and a quality strap to secure the instrument during performances. A standard capo for steel acoustics will suit the 16" radius.
