NAMM 2014: Gretsch Custom Shop celebrates 10th anniversary with new models
NAMM 2014: This year's show in Anaheim sees the Gretsch Custom Shop celebrate its 10th anniversary with a series of jaw-dropping new guitars handbuilt by Master Builder Stephen Stern and his team.
A mixture of new models, reissues and 'Historical' recreations of actual vintage instruments that feature in Bacon & Day's Gretsch Book, the whole range is a sight for sore eyes and then some.
