Acoustic Guitars

Inspired by tradition, yet rooted in pure Gretsch sensibility, our Roots Collection of acoustic guitars speak with voices that harken back to days gone by.

Gretsch's Gin Rickey and Jim Dandy Flat Top parlor-style models are faithful to the Gretsch "Rex" parlor guitars of the 1930s. Whether bluesy porch pickin’ or speakeasy swingin’, the G9520E Gin Rickey Acoustic/Electric with Deltoluxe Soundhole Pickup is a real gone finger-zinger classic, whisking you back to the halcyon days when the earliest Gretsch guitars fueled many a barrelhouse barn burner. Ideal for songwriting, practice or even as a travel guitar, the Jim Dandy is great for beginners or seasoned pros alike. Comfortable to play, and full of woody vintage tone with full-sounding bass, this little warm and pleasing tone wonder will inspire hours of playing joy. Meanwhile, the classic 1950s Gretsch New Yorker™ archtop guitar is an elegant grand auditorium model sure to become your new favorite for its excellent tone, effortless playing action and handsome good looks.
