Accordingly, the compact body is made of maple laminate, whereby the floor and ceiling are connected by a solid center block, so that no feedback occurs even at high volumes. The glued maple neck with the well rounded " Standard U" profile lies comfortably in the hand and allows every lick between the 22 frets of the ebony fingerboard to slip easily when playing electric guitar.
Two Gretsch Full'Tron Humbucker , combined with the typical Gretsch -circuitry, deliver versatile sounds with Vintage -character.

Additional sound variability is provided by the typical Gretsch circuitry consisting of a 3-way toggle, individual volume controls for each pickup and master volume and master tone controls.
