Gretsch Adds to the Electromatic Series

New to the series are the Black G5445T and Gold G5448T Double Jet models.


G5435T Electromatic Pro Jet


Scottsdale, AZ (Sept. 15, 2011) -- Gretsch announces the debut of several

new Electromatic Series guitars. The additions to the immensely popular

Electromatic collection take on a new voice and identity while resonating

true to the unmistakable Gretsch sound. The series welcomes nine new models,

including two basses and two left-handed guitars.




G5445T Electromatic Double Jet Bigsby


New to the series are the Black G5445T and Gold G5448T Double Jet models.

These double-cutaway guitars have a chambered basswood body and an arched

maple top; a two-tone body color scheme; dual "Black Top" Filter'Tron

pickups and a Bigsby B50 tailpiece. Other features include a 12² radius

rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and "Hump-Block" inlays;

three-position pickup toggle switch; anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge, G-arrow

knobs and a white pearloid Gretsch-logo pickguard.



The Cherry G5103 and Black G5105 CVT III guitars offer a slim design with a

thundering sound. These sonically stellar models sport the original Gretsch "CVT" thin-profile mahogany body design; a bolt-on maple neck that joins the

body at the 18th fret, and three Gretsch mini dual-coil pickups that sound

hi-fi rich and high-gain friendly. Additional features include

three-position pickup toggle switch; 12" radius rosewood fingerboard with 22

medium jumbo frets; G-arrow knobs and anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge with

stop tailpiece.




G5105 Electromatic CVT III


G2210 Electromatic Junior Jet Bass


The series also welcomes the Junior Jet Bass. "The Great Gretsch Sound"

rings true with this solid body bass equipped with classic Gretsch

appointments capable of filling a room with massive subsonic tones. Features

include a 30.3" scale neck; Gretsch mini dual-coil pickup; 12"-radius

rosewood fingerboard with 20 medium jumbo frets; four-saddle bridge and a

black Gretsch-logo pickguard. This model is available in Black and Tobacco

Sunburst finishes.



Also new to the collection are the Two-Tone Sunburst G5434, Black G5435 and

Gold G5438 Pro Jet models. These chambered, single cutaway classics, also

available in left-handed models (G5435LH and G5434LH), have an arched maple

top; a 12² radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and "Hump

Block" inlays; three-position pickup toggle switch; anchored Adjusto-Matic
