Gretsch Expands Electromatic Range with New Baritone Models

Gretsch has introduced two new baritone models to its mid-priced Electromatic range: the CVT and Jet Baritones. These guitars aim to bring the signature Gretsch sound into lower registers at an accessible price point.

The addition of these baritone models raises the question of whether Gretsch has created a guitar suitable for heavier music genres. Originally reported by MusicRadar.
