Customer Kudos

"I have rarely encountered better service, in-person or online, as I have with zZounds. Their payment options are insanely generous (why isn't the rest of life like this?), and when I did have issues on two occasions, they had me fixed up and taken care of IMMEDIATELY. Honestly, THANK YOU, zZounds. I will probably never shop anywhere for instruments or gear again if I can at all help it."

Gretsch Guitar Buying Guide

As one of the oldest and most storied guitar brands, Gretsch continues their tradition of being the instrument to pick up when you're looking for that one sound no other guitar can create. Gretsch's famous models, from Duo Jets to Falcons to Penguins, remain as sought-after today as ever. The Gretsch bloodline runs deep with striking looks thanks to sparkle binding, chrome-finished hardware, and that unmistakable Gretsch attitude. Of course the brand has been closely associated with rockabiliy, but these guitars are capable of anything you throw at them. Classic appointments flood Gretsch guitars, from TV Jones pickups, original Filter'Tron pickups, and Bigsby vibrato tailpieces.
