A "Tennessean" Heritage Built for the Modern Stage
An iconic model from the Professional Collection, the Tennessean carries on the understated aesthetics and efficiency of historic Gretsch guitars. It retains the brand's sonic codes while integrating current adjustments for reliability, ergonomics, and tuning stability both on stage and in the studio.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a versatile hollow body. From rockabilly to classic rock, country, jazz, pop, or indie, it offers clear articulation and a retro-modern tone that cuts through the mix without harshness.
The Sound
The maple body with Arc-Tone bracing promotes responsiveness, projection, and a tight low end. The Filter'Tron Pro-FT pickups deliver moderate output, sparkling highs, and tight lows, perfect for snappy rhythms and expressive leads. The Bigsby B6CP provides smooth vibrato, while the treble-bleed circuit maintains clarity when lowering volume. The no-load "Squeezebox" tone control allows harmonics to breathe fully for a more present upper spectrum.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Electric string sets with nickel-plated "ball end" suitable for Bigsby in gauges 10-46 (versatile) or 11-49 (firmer attack and increased stability). A quality leather strap complements the balance of a hollow body on stage. Deluxe hard case included.
