Gretsch Pristine LTD – Jet Single-Cuts and Center Block Double-Cuts
New affordable Gretsch Pristine LTD series launched for 2024
Gretsch has plenty of new models coming ahead of NAMM 2024. Including a whole range of single-cuts and double-cuts in really chic finishes as part of the Gretsch Pristine LTD series.
Gretsch Pristine LTD
With the new models of the Gretsch Pristine LTD series, the brand makes a real statement visually. Especially the new petrol finish in combination with the gold hardware. There are two models in the series: Jet Single-Cut and Center Block Double-Cut.
Chambered
The Jet models come with a chambered mahogany body, maple top, and a laurel fretboard with Pearloid Neo-Classic Thumbnails inlays. Mahogany has also been used for the Thin-U profile neck.
Filter’Tron
They are fitted with a pair of FT-5E Filter’Tron humbuckers at the bridge and neck, plus a 3-way switch, a master volume controller with treble-bleed, and a second volume control. Plus, of course, a Bigsby B50 Tremolo vibrato system.
Cool Colours
New 2024 finishes include Petrol, Mako, and White Gold. They all look classy and I think they will be popular with anyone looking for a cool-looking, affordable Gretsch model in 2024.
Center Block Double-Cut
Next up, is the new Center Block Double-Cut series which comes fitted with a B70 Bigsby Tremolo. Along with two P-90E single coils are on board. Otherwise, there are no differences in construction with these models.
Dark Cherry Metallic
Controls for the P-90E pickups include a master volume with the treble bleed circuit, master tone, individual pickup volume controls, and a three-position pickup selector switch. Again, they have some great colours this year and gold hardware throughout. Finishes include the Dark Cherry Metallic, White Gold, and Petrol.
Two Tone
These two-tone finishes with metallic tops along with those rich stained bodies and necks, plus all the gold hardware certainly make these look like a million dollars. However, they are all very affordable and good value for money.
Could 2024 be the year you buy your first Gretsch?
