Gretsch
Great American Sound & Beauty
The History of Gretsch Guitars
Whether you pick up a Gretsch White Falcon, a Duo Jet or a Country Gentleman, they are all imbued with that unique Gretsch sound and looks. They are guitars to be heard and seen: big bodies with beautiful ornamentation, super playable and a they sound like a bell. It is not for nothing that Chet Atkins, Danny Vera, Bono, Bo Didley and many others choose a Gretsch. The company has been around since 1883 and started building drums, mandolins, banjos and guitars. In the early years, the drums were the most important product and the Gretsch Broadcasters are still world-famous.
Gretsch guitars only took off after virtuoso Chet Atkins got his own Gretsch model: the Gretsch Country Gentleman. When George Harrison performed with such a hollowbody Gretsch guitar on the Ed Sullivan show, there was no stopping him at all. Later, The Monkey's with their own TV show with a Gretsch guitar and drum kit went even further. This made Gretsch the biggest instrument maker in the United States for some time.
Wide range of Gretsch guitars
That rich history is still reflected today in Gretsch's huge range: acoustic and electric guitars, hollowbody and solid body, amplifiers and lots of accessories, Gretsch has it all. In our shop, we always have a wide selection of new, pre-owned and vintage Gretsch guitars in stock, such as The Black Falcon, The Streamliner, The White Falcon, various Gretsch Jet models in those distinctive pop colours with sometimes some extra sparkle and of course with that great Bigsby Vibrato.
In addition, Gretsch also has a great Roots line for their acoustic guitars, including the wildly popular Jim Dandy Guitar.

You can easily order a Gretsch guitar through the webshop of The Fellowship of Acoustics. It is worth pointing out, that if you order a guitar from us online, it will leave our store after a complete set up free of charge. In that case, please also contact us about your personal preferences, so that the Fellows in our workshop can take them into account. We ship internationally.
As true guitar aficionados, we know better than anyone that most people enjoy first looking at several models up close and trying them out. We would therefore like to invite you to visit our store in Dedemsvaart. We are of course also happy to help you with personal advice. The coffee is ready!
