GALLERY: Golden Era of Gretsch

The guitars conceived and produced by the Gretsch Company after WWII represent some of the more unique sounding and visually dynamic models available during the ''50s and into the mid-''60s.

The Anniversary model(s), initially released in 1958 to commemorate the Gretsch Company's 75th anniversary, were so successful that the company continued to produce them throughout the 1960s and into the 1970s. More Anniversary guitars were made than any other Gretsch model. This specimen represents the popular FilterTron pickup and two-tone green finish option. (Photo courtesy of Ron O'Keefe)"
