Jazzy 40s-style Synchromatic Archtop!

The Gretsch G100CE is a stunning arch top that's reminiscent of the early Synchromatics of the 1940s. Boasting a spruce top, maple back and sides, 3-piece maple neck, and a Gretsch floating pickup for ultra-jazzy tone, you'll also enjoy this arch top's Chromatic tailpiece, Synchronized bridge, pearloid block inlays, stylized f-holes, and vintage headstock logo that all contribute to the G100CE's decidedly Art Deco look. Available with either a natural or black finish, you'll catch eyes and summon killer tone with your beautiful Gretsch C100CE Synchromatic Archtop!

This guitar brought out the demon in me

by Lucas Frazier from Cincinnati, OH

Without ever playing this guitar or seeing it in person I bought it. The first time I saw it I just knew it was for me. It plays, sounds, and looks absolutely amazing. I play slide on this guitar t... read more [+]hrough a Silvertone 1484 while using a tubescreamer, and it sounds mean as hell. I would have expected a guitar of this quality to cost well over $1000. The only problem I've ever had with it was when I fell over on stage and my instrument cable pushed through and broke a half dollar size hole in the body. However, you shouldn't have this problem if you don't rock out as hard as I do. close [-]

The only hard case... read more [+] I found that the guitar will fit in is the Gater dreadnought deluxe, because of the volume knobs and the height of the bridge. close [-]
