Gretsch - available at 4 stores *

"That Great Gretsch Sound" has been coming to us for over 100 years. It all began in Brooklyn, New York, when German immigrant Freidrich Gretsch opened a tiny shop in which to make banjos, drums and tambourines.

After Freidrich's death in 1895, the shop was handed to his son Fred. Fred was an entrepreneurial young man, and by 1916 had turned his father's business into America's leading importer and manufacturer of musical instruments. When Gretsch began making guitars, their fate as a legend was sealed.

Originally offering jazz guitars and flat-top models for country and western performers, Gretsch enjoyed immense success. Musicians adored the trademark sound, and that carried all the way through the 1960s, when Gretsch pioneered the custom color finish. With vintage Gretsch instruments in high demand, Gretsch is again manufacturing, ensuring that "That Great Gretsch Sound" be once again heard throughout the world.
