A taste of the 40s! Inspired by the early Synchromatics, the Gretsch G100CEBK Synchromatic Cutaway will take you back to those smoky jazz bars filled with musicians and a crooning Ella Fitzgerald. With a spruce top, maple sides and back and rosewood fingerboard you will get a sound that is light, but full of texture and suave. This natural finished, electro acoustic guitar is perfect for recreating that retro feel at a great price!
Acoustically, you can expect a snappy tone with a warm woody sound. The acoustic arch top design and floating neck mounded single coil pickup make up a beautifully composed and constructed guitar. The G100CEBK lends itself well to being recorded or amplified due to its fast attack, clear tone and electromagnetic pickup. You won't find a better sounding guitar at this price range.
Here's what Gretsch say about the Gretsch G100CE Synchromatic Cutaway Guitar
