BRIAN SETZER

Widely credited for nearly single-handedly resurrecting rockabilly and big-band music, Brian Setzer has torn through modern music like a one-man revival. Brandishing Gretsch guitars with electrifying virtuosity, he returned scorching original-era rock 'n' roll to the top of the charts in the 1980s with the Stray Cats before embarking on a highly successful and acclaimed solo career at the helm of the relentlessly swinging Brian Setzer Orchestra.

and black as the ace of spades.

CHET ATKINS

The story of Gretsch Guitars practically begins with the great Chet Atkins (1924-2001). The preeminent guitarist of his day, Atkins became a Gretsch guitars endorser and design consultant in the mid-1950s, and his name graced several of the company's most acclaimed and popular models. His worldwide esteem and influence are simply incalculable, and his musical legacy will likely endure forever.

GEORGE HARRISON

George Harrison (1943-2001) needs no introduction. With the Beatles and throughout his long and distinguished solo career, no other artist did more to popularize Gretsch guitars. From the Cavern and The Ed Sullivan Show in the early 1960s to acclaimed 1987 solo album Cloud Nine, Harrison's distinctive and finely nuanced guitar legacy represents a shining era and defining element in the history of Gretsch guitars.

GEORGE HARRISON SIGNATURE DUO JET

Gretsch celebrates the legacy of George Harrison with the G6128T-GH George Harrison Signature Duo Jet guitar, modeled on the instrument that the legendary guitarist often referred to as his

"first real decent guitar."

Like their six-string siblings, new Electromatic Hollow Body Basses pay homage to the deeply rooted

foundation of '70s-era Gretsch sound and style.


ElEctromatic Solid BodyLike their hollow-body brethren,

Gretsch Electromatic Solid Body instruments give a rocking nod to solid '70s-era sound

and style, with looks and appointments that recall the best elements of that era.
