Die Gretsch Professional Collection setzt die Messlatte hoch an mit modernen, professionellen Features, die den klassischen Gretsch-Ton und einen fetten, dynamischen Sound ermöglichen. Es handelt sich dabei um absolute Flaggschiff-Instrumente, gebaut für Musiker*innen, die sich nur mit dem absolut Besten in Sachen Klang und Leistung zufrieden geben. Jedes einzelne Instrument spiegelt den typischen Gretsch-Style wider und besticht mit hochpräziser Verarbeitung und außergewöhnlicher Soundqualität. Die Serie unterteilt sich in vier Editionen und bietet die größte Auswahl aus dem Hause Gretsch:
Inspiriert von Gretschs goldenem Zeitalter in den 1950er und frühen 60er Jahren, sind die Gitarren der Vintage Select Edition für Spieler*innen gedacht, die das Beste aus der Geschichte der Musikinstrumente zu schätzen wissen. Insbesondere Vintage-Freunde und Sammler erfreuen sich an diesen Gitarren.
Die Instrumente der Players Edition wurden für den professionellen Einsatz entwickelt und bieten den klassischen Gretsch-Sound und modernste Features für maximale Leistung, Komfort und Vielseitigkeit. Das Haupteinsatzgebiet der Players Edition-Modelle ist neben dem Aufnahmestudio natürlich die große Bühne.
Die Gretsch Artist Signature Edition bietet sorgfältige Nachbildungen von Instrumenten, die den charakteristischen Sound der berühmtesten Endorsement-Künstler einfangen. Viele bekannte Künstler wie Malcolm Young, George Harrison, Billy Gibbons und Brian Setzer haben Gretsch-Gitarren für sich entdeckt und sind stolze Besitzer von einer oder mehreren Signature-Gitarren.
Die Modelle der Limited Edition werten Gretschs berühmteste Designs sowohl mit auffälligen Finishes als auch mit verbesserten Funktionen und Ausstattungen auf. Diese in Stil und Klang atemberaubenden Kleinserien-Modelle sind für all jene gedacht, die einen individuellen Charakter suchen. 2023 feiert Gretsch 140 Jahre Firmengeschichte und hat zu diesem Anlass neue Limited-Modelle auf den Markt gebracht.
Since its founding in 1883 in Brooklyn, New York, Gretsch has expertly delivered musical instruments of the highest quality that are both influenced and appreciated by some of the music industry's most respected artists. Including Chet Atkins, Eddie Cochran, Billy Duffy, Bono, Duane Eddy, George Harrison, Brian Setzer, Stephen Stills and Malcolm Young.
27-year-old Friedrich Gretsch, a German immigrant, initially began his company's career by manufacturing banjos, drums and tambourines. However, just 12 years later, Friedrich died and left the young company to his son Fred, who was only 15 years old at the time. This, by no means a typical teenager, built the company into one of the leading importers and manufacturers of musical instruments in America. Knowing that the key to growth lay in listening to what the public wanted - and they wanted guitars - Gretsch began manufacturing the coveted six-string.
First from 1926 in the form of acoustic archtops for jazz music, which was rapidly gaining popularity at the time, and a handful of flattops for the sounds of country and western, which were always popular in the USA. In 1935, Gretsch launched the legendary Broadkaster drum series, which was successful until the 1950s. Gretsch's contribution to the emergence of electrical amplification was the first Electromatic® in 1939, a hollow-body construction / acoustic that has remained in the repertoire to this day in a contemporary design.
In 1942, after 50 years of successful business, Fred Gretsch Senior left the company to his son Fred Gretsch Junior. Since production was interrupted during the turmoil of World War II, he left the business to his brother Bill in order to serve in the Navy himself. Unfortunately, like his grandfather, Bill died very young in 1948, so the naval officer Fred, who was no longer active, took over the helm of the family business again.
Since 1953, the company has also cultivated its expertise in solid-body guitars, which addressed increasingly loud concerts with their greatly reduced sensitivity to feedback. The semi-acoustic department has now expanded to include guitars with center block construction / acoustic , which combine the tonal properties of a hollow body guitar with the practical aspects of a solid body.
Since George Harrison's appearance with the Beatles and his Country Gentleman on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, Gretsch has finally become a permanent star in the firmament of iconic guitars, which is clearly reflected in 1965 in the form of the highest production volume in the company's history.
In 1967, at the height of success, so to speak, Fred Gretsch Jr. decided to take a well-deserved retirement and sold the company to the Baldwin Piano Company, which took over the business. Unfortunately with limited success. Fortunately, Dinah Gretsch joined the company in 1979 and was able to pave the way for a buyback, which her husband Fred W. Gretsch, the founder's grandchild, was able to complete 17 years after the sale. Together, the couple brought the company back to its former glory, where it still shines today.
