Broadway building 4, Gretschs NY home for decades. Gretsch musical instrument production began in 1. Friedrich Gretsch, a German immigrant, set up a shop in Brooklyn for the manufacture of banjos, tambourines and drums. The company was immediately prosperous, but in 1. Friedrich Gretsch died at 3. Fred, took over. By 1. Fred Gretsch had moved the company into a 1. Broadway in Brooklyn and become one of Americas leading importers and manufacturers of musical instruments. At this time, Gretsch still produced very few guitars, because there was little market for guitars. The banjo reigned supreme until well into the big band era, when the archtop guitar came to the fore. Gretsch responded with the Synchromatic line. When Fred Gretsch retired in 1. William took over until Fred Gretsch, Jr. Fred Jr. went on to lead the company through its guitar heyday. The golden years. Gretsch had dabbled in electric guitars prior to 1. Hawaiian lap steels and the Electromatic arch tops, among other models, but around 1. Golden Age of Gretsch guitars began. In quick succession the Electromatic evolved into the Country Club, the Jet solidbodies were introduced and two of Gretschs best loved models, the 6. Chet Atkins model and the White Falcon hit the market. Retailing for 3. De. Armond pickups, a Bigsby vibrato, and a big G brand on the top. Although the 6. 12. Eddie Cochran to Pete Townshend to Brian Setzer. The 6. 12. 1 Chet Atkins model, released at the same time, followed the Jet model it looked like a solid body, but underneath the cap, the mahogany body was extensively routed.

Three single pickup hollow bodies the Convertible Ivory and Copper with a Lucite pickguard, a hollow Corvette model and the Streamliner. The black Duo Jet, the Jet Fire Bird Oriental Red, the Silver Jet silver sparkle finish and the Round Up solid bodies. The biggest news of 1. Atkins guitars, must have been the 6. White Falcon. Initially intended to be a strictly promotional item, it was dubbed The Guitar of the Future, and proved so popular at trade shows it found its way into the model line. The Falcon was like a six string General Motors Motorama dream car pure flash. It had a 1. 7 inch body, four knobs, one switch, a Melita bridge, 2. De. Armond pickups and a special Cadillac G tailpiece with a V shaped crossbar and a metal G suspended between two metal rods. Falcons cost 6. 00 new, 2. Think five figures for one nowadays. The Falcon created enough of a stir that the entire line remained relatively stable until about 1. The Chet Atkins range expanded to four models, the 6. Country Gentleman and the 6. Tennesseean. The White Falcon was available in Project O Sonic stereo and non stereo versions, as were the Anniversary models. The Round Up was dropped. By 1. 95. 9 western trim had gone off into the sunset. Most models had switched from block markers to humped block markers in 1. Pickups changed from De. Armonds to Filter. Tron pickups and the G brand was gone. Sal Salvador and Clipper models also joined the lineup by 1. Gretsches. Gretsch had become a major player by this time. They offered a distinct tone and flashy finishes at a time when Gibson and Fender considered anything other than sunburst a custom finish, as well as technical innovation some would say gadgetry and a distinctive sound. In the mid sixties George Harrison played a Country Gentleman on the Ed Sullivan show and sales went through the roof. Gretsch found themselves a year behind filling orders. Unfortunately, the success was not to last. In 1. 96. 7 Fred Gretsch, unable to find a suitable heir, sold the company to Baldwin Pianos, which reorganized it as a subsidiary. Baldwin moved the New York guitar production to Booneville, Ark. New York at the time. In 7. 2 the New York offices were shut down and relocated to Chicago. The Baldwin years. Fortune turned against Gretsch in the late 6. The guitar heroes of the late 6. Stratocasters and Les Pauls, and millions of kids followed them to other brands. Gretschs own efforts increasingly looked old fashioned and out of touch. Baldwin never seemed to fully grasp guitar production, either. Both the design and execution suffered through the 7. Guitar production moved from Brooklyn to Boonville, Arkansas in 1. Many veteran employees refused to move, while those who did move were unsure about the new workers ability to make guitars. To top it off, in 1. Arkansas plant suffered two disastrous fires. Through the 7. 0s, Gretsch become a pale reflection of the glory years. Quality control suffered under Baldwins disinterested reign there were even rumors of intentional sabotage by disgruntled employees and the corporate lords began systematically cheapening some of Gretschs best loved models. A disgusted Chet Atkins withdrew his endorsement in 1. By that time, the collapse was nearly complete. Employees rallied enough to continue guitar production into 1. Baldwin finally shut it all down. A few attempts were made to start up production again over the next few years, and a handful of guitars were made in various places including Mexico but none of the attempts were successful. Despite the many failures of Baldwin management, it should be noted that while the Baldwin era instruments are not widely sought by collectors, many of them were fine instruments, nonetheless. Today, Baldwin era instruments are often a bargain price way to get a good vintage Gretsch. And not all of ideas were bad the 7. Chet Atkins Super Axe and Atkins Axe are two of the better examples the companys efforts during that period. The resurrection. In 1. 98. 5 Fred W. Gretsch, great grandson of the company founder, regained control of the company. At the time, he wasnt buying much little more than a name, really. There was no factory, inventory, no tooling, nothing. Fred was starting from scratch. He opened business offices in Savannah, Ga. The first sign of a Gretsch revival came in 1. Traveling Wilburys commemorative guitars. While these are hoarded avidly by a few collectors, they bear little resemblance to any Gretsch models. In fact, they are more like Danelectros. But they did provide a much needed cash infusion, allowing Fred to begin Gretsch production on a large scale in 1. In 1. 98. 9, with the company again in Gretsch family hands, guitar production restarted on a large scale. Production of new guitars, based on classic Gretsch models, would be based at the Terada factory in Japan, using a mixture of American and European parts. Through the 9. 0s, Fred continued to build the company, introducing new models and aquiring high profile endorsements, such as Brian Setzer. He even offered a custom line of American made guitars in 1. And in 1. 99. 9, he added to the bottom of the line as well with a cheaper series of Korean made guitars sold under the Historic, Electromatic and Sychromatic names. As a new century began, Gretschs product line still consisted primarily of reissues of past successes, although several models showed some new thought, including a White Falcon Rancher, a 6. TV Jones hot rodded 6. New Jet. The Fender era. In the fall of 2. Gretsch began yet another new era as Fender Musical Instruments Corporation secured an agreement that basically gave them all control over the manufacturing and distribution of Gretsch.
