Gretsch is an iconic American guitar brand founded in 1883 by Friedrich Gretsch in Brooklyn, New York. Known for its distinctive style and sound, Gretsch guitars gained popularity in the 1950/60s, especially in rock-a-billy, country, and early rock 'n' roll. Many people recognise Gretsch by their renowned vintage looks, twangy tones, and hollow/semi-hollow body construction.

The brand has been associated with legendary artists like Chet Atkins, George Harrison, and Brian Setzer. Today, Gretsch continues to produce high-quality guitars, combining their classic design with modern craftsmanship under the ownership of Fender.
