The Gretsch Tennessean Hollow Body delivers classic Gretsch tone and playability in an elegant yet understated package. Designed for discerning players seeking a versatile hollowbody, the Tennessean gives you a resonant 16" maple body, comfortable U-shaped neck and a pair of Filter'Tron pickups for articulation and depth. The Tennessean's trio of controls provides an array of vintage-inspired sounds to suit any genre.
Full, Warm Tone from Premium Woods
The Tennessean's deep hollow maple body produces a rich, balanced tone with pronounced lows, clear mids and shimmering highs. Its set maple neck has a comfortable medium C profile that plays fast and feels familiar. Together, the body and neck deliver the trademark Gretsch sound in a lightweight, ergonomic form.
Filter'Tron Pickups for Classic Gretsch Voice
At the heart of the Tennessean's tone are a pair of Filter'Tron humbucking pickups. The Filter'Trons provide the distinctive Gretsch sound with a blend of warmth, clarity and chime. Flip between the neck and bridge pickups or combine them for a range of tones from smooth jazz to all-out rock.
Vintage-Style Controls Shape Your Sound
The Tennessean gives you master volume and tone controls, as well as individual volume knobs for the neck and bridge pickups—just like classic Gretsch hollowbodies from the 1950s and '60s. Roll back the neck pickup volume and crank the bridge for a biting twang or do the opposite for a mellow jazz voice. The no-load tone circuit delivers natural-sounding roll-off as you turn down the highs.
Rock-Solid Hardware and Appointments
The Tennessean features a rock-solid Adjusto-Matic bridge and Bigsby B6GP vibrato tailpiece for tuning stability and string-bending expression. Sealed die-cast tuners, strap locks and a Graph Tech Tusq nut provide additional reliability. Neo-Classic inlays, a silver pickguard and nickel hardware complete the vintage-inspired aesthetic. For a professional hollowbody with timeless Gretsch vibe, you can't beat the Tennessean.
