In 1954 Gretsch shook up the stodgy guitar world
of natural and sunburst finishes by introducing a green,
Country Club, jazz electric guitar. This bold tie-in to
the auto industry was a hint of even more colorful guitars
to come. The optional “Cadillac Green” finish when combined with
the brilliant gold hardware made this guitar both visually
stunning and worthy of being displayed at any art museum.
Cadillac Green Gretsch Country Club
is being reissued and features a vintage model body shape,
brilliant DynaSonic dual pickups, a “G” long tailpiece
and adjustable bridge, an ebony fingerboard with block
pearl inlays, detailed binding, and enough gold hardware.
