Gretsch G1627

The Gretsch G1627 is catalogued here as a Gretsch instrument, and its model number falls within the company's modern designation system, in which a G at the front of the number identifies a current model and the following digits indicate the body style and specification level. Gretsch uses this system across a large range of guitars that reproduce its historic designs, from hollow-body instruments with filter-style pickups to solid and chambered models. The source record here gives the model number and the maker without further specification of the body, pickups or production period.
