Description

The 2010 Gretsch Hot Rod Model is a semi-hollowbody electric guitar that beautifully blends classic design with modern rockabilly flair. Drawing inspiration from the legendary Brian Setzer, this guitar is crafted for musicians who crave both style and substance. Its TV Jones Brian Setzer Signature pickups deliver that quintessential Gretsch tone—bright, open, and with a bite that cuts through any mix. The guitar features a sleek, two-piece maple neck and a bound ebony fretboard, providing a smooth and comfortable playing experience.

A defining feature of this model is its vintage Bigsby B6 vibrato tailpiece, which offers smooth vibrato action and a retro aesthetic that can't be beaten. Whether you're diving into rock, blues, or country, the Hot Rod Model is designed to handle it all with grace. The combination of a laminate maple top, back, and sides ensures not just durability but also a resonant and full-bodied sound that can fill any room.

For those who appreciate craftsmanship and tonal versatility, the 1959 Style Trestle bracing adds solidbody-like sustain and controls unwanted feedback, making it a reliable choice for stage performances. With its single master volume control, you have the power to shape your sound effortlessly.

This is more than just a guitar; it's a piece of musical history that invites you to explore a world of sound and style.

Key Features:

  • TV Jones Brian Setzer Signature pickups for authentic Gretsch tone
  • Two-piece maple neck with a bound ebony fretboard
  • Bigsby B6 vibrato tailpiece for vintage vibe and smooth action
