Gretsch just unveiled their revamped Synchromatic Collection, bringing their signature hollow-body to more players than ever. The new lineup features the Nashville and Falcon, packed with serious upgrades all while keeping the iconic Gretsch look and feel intact.
Both guitars get the full treatment with enhanced Semi-Arc bracing, premium materials, and the classic aesthetic that makes Gretsch guitars instantly recognisable. If you’ve been eyeing a hollow-body but weren’t ready to drop serious cash, these might be your ticket in.

The standout feature is Gretsch’s Semi-Arc bracing system – a smart twist on their classic Trestle design. They kept the two feet under the bridge but ditched the extra bracing near the neck block. The result? You get the massive, resonant tone of parallel bracing with the snap and feedback resistance that made the 1959 Trestle bracing legendary.
Both models come loaded with Hi-Fidelity Filter’Tron pickups featuring Alnico 5 magnets. These deliver that sought-after Filter’Tron chime and articulation without the vintage price tag. The maple necks feature a comfortable soft “C” shape with ebony fingerboards and genuine bone nuts.
The Models
The Synchromatic Nashville brings that classic 6120 spirit with a 24.6″ scale length. You get oversized bound F-holes, multi-ply body binding, and your choice of 50s Orange Stain or Cadillac Green finishes.
The Synchromatic Falcon steps up with a 25.5″ scale and that signature gold sparkle binding on the body, neck, and headstock. It comes in Snowcrest White or Black, both looking absolutely killer.
Both guitars include Bigsby B60 tailpieces, Adjusto-Matic bridges with ebony bases, and deluxe hardshell cases. The control setup is versatile too – master volume with treble bleed, master tone, individual pickup volumes, and a three-way toggle.
Gretsch has always been about that distinctive sound and style, and the new Synchromatic Collection delivers both without breaking the bank.
