Chambered Mahogany Body With Spruce Center Block Provides Resonant Tone With Reduced Feedback

The Gretsch Electromatic Pristine LTD has a chambered mahogany body with a spruce center block that minimizes feedback while retaining resonance. The hollow mahogany body generates a bold, resonant tone, perfect for rock, jazz and blues. The spruce center block prevents feedback so you can crank up the volume and gain without issue.

Thin U-Shaped Mahogany Neck Offers Comfort and Fast Play

The Gretsch Electromatic Pristine LTD Center Block Double-Cut features a thin, U-shaped mahogany neck that feels familiar and comfortable. With its slim profile and 22 medium-jumbo frets, the neck offers effortless, fluid playability. The smooth satin finish maximizes speed, making it easy to fly across the fingerboard.

Master Volume Control Allows Expressive Lead Tones

A master volume control gives you precise command over the Gretsch Electromatic Pristine LTD Center Block Double-Cut's overall output. Easily dial in rhythm tones at lower settings, then kick it up a notch to soar into expressive lead playing. The master volume lets you control your dynamics for versatile live performance.

Bigsby B70 Vibrato Tailpiece Adds Shimmer and Depth

The Gretsch Electromatic Pristine LTD Center Block Double-Cut comes equipped with a Bigsby B70 vibrato tailpiece for adding shimmer and depth to your playing.

Defective components that qualify for coverage under this warranty will be repaired or replaced (at FMIC's discretion) without charge.
