Gretsch Expands Electromatic Range with New Baritone Models
The CVT and Jet Baritones take That Great Gretsch Sound into lower registers, and at a nice price too... But one question remains. Has Gretsch just made a metal guitar?

Gretsch has introduced two new baritone models to its mid-priced Electromatic line: the CVT and Jet Baritones. These guitars aim to deliver the signature Gretsch sound in lower registers at an accessible price point.
The addition of these baritone guitars expands the Electromatic series, offering a new sonic palette for musicians. MusicRadar poses the question of whether these instruments could be suitable for heavier music genres.
