A post-war relic, the 1946 Gretsch Synchromatic 160 is a fascinating guitar that captures the imagination with its distinctive design and unique playability. This rare bird, with its singular D-shaped neck, offers a comfortable yet substantial grip, providing a truly unique playing experience. The sound has plenty of low end for it's style, perfect for those who want that archtop chop. Although the pickguard was removed and some binding is missing from the F holes, this does nothing to detract from its allure, enhanced instead by the graceful checking of its vintage finish. Comes with a hardshell case.
