"I want to play that Beatles sound again with my own hands."
Have you ever wished that?
Getting your hands on a Gretsch from the same era and year is now nothing short of a miracle. Even with many reissue models available, that mature, open sound and the sparkle of harmonics can only be found in vintage instruments.
This is the very model George Harrison cherished.
A 1962 and 1963 model, precisely the era of the Country Gentleman he owned two of.
If you remember that tone unleashed on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, this guitar's specialness needs no explanation.
This instrument is a 1963 original from Gretsch's golden era.
Anti-howling with simulated F-holes, rich and balanced tone from Ray Butts' Filter'Tron pickups.
Delicate yet focused highs, warm and three-dimensional mids and lows – this is the quintessential Gretsch sound.
A single vibrato bend makes the sound undulate, creating a vivid, air-shaking presence that shows no sign of fading even after more than half a century.
This instrument is not just vintage.
It's from 1963, the very year George Harrison played one.
Experience the authentic resonance, luster, and aged dryness of a Gretsch from that era. It possesses a presence that feels like it captured the very air of that time.
The Beatles, George Harrison, and vintage Gretsch.
A guitar where all three elements come together rarely appears on the market.
This is a guitar we want only true fans, true collectors, or players seriously pursuing sound to possess.
Play this 1963 Country Gentleman, and you'll feel it too. That intro, those chords, that resonance—that era and that sound come alive right here, right now. Experience this miraculous vintage sound for yourself on the actual instrument.
